## Summary

The ongoing procurement process involves Cornwall Council, specifically CORMAC Solutions, seeking suppliers for "The Hire of Operated Lorries, Plant & Equipment." This framework agreement falls under the construction and civil engineering machinery industry and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 6th December 2016, with an application deadline of 24th January 2017, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2017, running until 31st March 2021. The estimated value of the agreement is £4,000,000, primarily through mini-competitions among appointed suppliers under an open procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in equipment hire and related services. Companies capable of providing operated construction machinery and transport vehicles will find excellent prospects for participation, especially those offering capabilities in long-term hires or specific contracts. The framework agreement is designed to accommodate multiple suppliers, allowing for competitive offerings and potentially increased business volume if additional local government bodies decide to adopt its terms.

## Notice

The appointed suppliers will be required to provide operated plant including (but not limited to) haulage lorries (including insulated butts and crane mounted), drain clearing vehicles and equipment, excavators, dumpers, swing shovels, tele-handlers, tractors, access platforms, sweepers, and self-drive commercial vehicles to CORMAC Solutions, all directorates of Cornwall Council, (including their statutory successors and wholly or partially owned organisations), and potentially to other local government bodies, who may at a later date adopt the terms and conditions of this framework agreement. Whilst there is no guaranteed quantity or spend, the estimated value of CORMAC Solutions Ltd's spend is likely to be in the region of PS2,000,000 per annum. The potential estimated total value is likely to exceed this range of spend if other organisations decide to participate. Mini competitions will take place for situations where it is economically advantageous. This will include long term hires and specific schemes for contracts work. This agreement will also include haulage for CORMAC Solutions' Quarry at Castle-an Dinas Ludgvan Penzance. There will be no limit on the number of suppliers appointed to the framework agreement.
