## Summary

The Cumberland Council has awarded a contract for the 'Non-Operated Plant Framework 2024-2027' to three suppliers. This framework aims to hire small non-operated plant equipment for highway maintenance across England. The contract value is GBP 400,000 with a contract period starting from February 1, 2024, to January 31, 2027.

This procurement opportunity offers a chance for businesses in the construction equipment industry to compete for supplying plant equipment to support highway maintenance activities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in machinery for mining, quarrying, and construction would find this tender suitable due to the framework's council-wide coverage and the need for multiple suppliers to meet the council's requirements.
