## Summary

The Cambridge City Council is seeking a contractor for a Watercourse Maintenance Contract running from 2023 to 2025/6.

The procurement stage is complete, and the contract period starts in April 2023 and ends in March 2026.

This tender opportunity offers businesses in the waterway operation services sector a chance to work with the public sector.
