## Summary

The procurement process involves a Framework Agreement for Drainage and Asset Management Investigation and Maintenance Works initiated by Durham County Council. This open procedure is currently at the Award stage, where the council aims to appoint up to four contractors for the framework, which has an estimated value ranging from £1,000,000 to £15,000,000 over a period of four years starting from 1st July 2019 to 30th June 2023. The tender period for applications ended on 25th March 2019, and the works will be executed primarily in the North East region of the United Kingdom.
