## Summary

Surrey County Council has recently awarded a contract under the Countryside Services Framework, valued at £8,000,000. This framework is aimed at providing a variety of countryside services, including grounds maintenance on public highway verges, public rights of way, and other countryside sites in the South East of the United Kingdom.
