## Summary

The procurement process titled "535_17 - Hire of Plant (with operator)" was initiated by Espo, primarily for Leicestershire County Council, with Coventry City Council anticipated to utilise the framework as well. This framework agreement encompasses a wide range of plant hire options, with 20 distinct lots available including wheeled backhoe loaders and road sweepers. The tender period closes on 3rd April 2017, and the procurement method adopted is an open procedure, with an estimated total value of £20,000,000, potentially extending for an additional 12 months. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st June 2017 and will last until 31st May 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the plant hire and construction sectors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with capabilities to provide operated plant machinery and related services would be well-positioned to compete for this framework, benefiting from the potential for ongoing contracts through an eAuction process on subsequent call-offs. Engaging with this procurement can help expand their business presence within the local government sector.
