Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Temporary Traffic Management Framework 2025 - 2027," initiated by Westmorland and Furness Council, is currently in the Tender stage. This framework seeks up to three suppliers to provide temporary traffic management support for various schemes alongside the council’s in-house highway teams. Located in the UKD12 region, the contract's estimated value is £3,600,000.00. The framework operates under an open procurement method and features a closed framework agreement without reopening competition. The tender period ends on 17th December 2025, while the award period is expected to conclude by 23rd February 2026. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and could potentially extend up to 31st March 2030.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in traffic control services, particularly those familiar with high traffic or larger scale operations, thanks to its substantial value and the extended potential contract period. The framework supports suppliers actively participating in local economic and social regeneration, thereby offering a platform for companies looking to enhance their community engagement credentials. The open procedure invites a competitive tender process, well-suited for SMEs aiming to establish or expand their presence in public contracts, especially entities equipped with specialised equipment and expertise beyond the council's in-house capabilities. This could particularly benefit companies capable of delivering high-quality services efficiently at competitive prices.
