The procurement, categorised under snow-clearing and ice-clearing services, follows an open procedure and is part of a framework agreement. It covers several locations within the UKF region, including Chapel-en-le-Frith, Chesterfield, Wirksworth, and Willington, and began on 1st November 2025, with an initial term ending on 31st October 2027 and potential extensions up to 2029. The procurement stage is complete, with key contracts awarded on 13th November 2025 to multiple suppliers, including Peter Byard Plant Hire Limited and Joule Brady Limited.
