## Summary

Cumbria County Council is seeking to establish a Non-Operated Plant Framework for the period 2020-2023, intended to enhance their highway maintenance operations in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The total value of the framework is £3,000,000, with an open procurement method. The tender was published on 18th September 2019, with the tender period closing on 18th October 2019. The contract will commence on 1st December 2019 and run until 30th November 2023, providing necessary small plant hire services during peak workload periods and for covering equipment breakdowns.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in plant hire services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to engage with a significant local authority contract. Companies with expertise in providing machinery for construction and maintenance, particularly those capable of meeting fluctuating demand and offering quick response times, would be well-suited to compete for this framework. This contract not only allows for service delivery to a major buyer but also fosters potential growth through additional work associated with highway maintenance projects in the area.

## Notice

This opportunity is available via The Chest:- https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ The Council wishes to procure a framework for the hire of a range of non-operated small plant to support an in house delivery model of highway maintenance. The service will be a top up service to supplement the Council's own small plant in times of high workload, provide cover for breakdown and to supply infrequently used equipment. See tender documents for further information. All clarifications must go via the messages area and will not be replied to if sent direct.
