Summary of the contracting process

The City of York Council, a public authority in sub-central government, is inviting tenders for the "CYC Labour Support Gangs Framework," aimed at supplementing in-house resources for highway maintenance. This procurement, under an open procedure, focuses on the supply services of commercial or industrial workers within the region UKE21 in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with an enquiry period ending on 17th June 2026, and a submission deadline of 24th June 2026. The contract, valued at £2.4 million, will be awarded by 31st July 2026, and aims to appoint up to five providers under a framework agreement.

This framework presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the construction and maintenance sector, particularly those capable of providing labour, vehicles, and appropriate equipment independently. The City of York Council's move to use a framework agreement allows direct awards based on provider rankings, offering a streamlined entry point for skilled providers eager to grow their presence within public sector contracts. Companies with a strong focus on price, operational flexibility, and health and safety standards will find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities, and those who can also provide social value and demonstrate excellent skills and availability of operatives are likely to be competitive candidates.
