Summary of the contracting process

Ribble Valley Borough Council is seeking tenders for the provision of street-cleaning services, divided into two lots focusing on mechanical road sweepers and mini sweepers with outboard jet wash and drivers. This procurement process, under an open procedure, offers opportunities in the service industry, specifically under CPV code 90610000 for street-cleaning and sweeping services.
