Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council plans to launch a tender process for the "CPU 6980 Highways Tool, Plant and Welfare Hire Framework." This procurement is aimed at appointing qualified suppliers to provide required tools and plant for highway works within the Nottingham City boundary. The initiative is classified under the Construction industry category, specifically focusing on construction structures and materials. Located in Nottingham, the council is inviting suitable businesses to participate in an open procedure, with the procurement process currently in the Planning stage. Notable dates include a future notice scheduled for 8th August 2026, with the contract to run from 18th December 2026 to 17th December 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction materials and related services. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply due to suitability criteria set by the council. The framework agreement, valued at £2,000,000 gross, offers substantial scope for business growth through securing consistent projects over a four-year period. Business owners seeking to expand their portfolio in the Nottingham region, especially those with expertise in the supply of construction materials and equipment, will find this a compelling opportunity to engage with Nottingham City Council as a buyer.
