## Summary

The Cumbria County Council, a significant contracting authority based in Carlisle, has finalised the award of the "Highway Verge Maintenance and Arboriculture Framework 2020-24" with a total contract value of £3,800,000. This framework includes four distinct lots focusing on verge maintenance in various regions: Lot 1 for the East Area (Carlisle City Council and Eden District Council), Lot 2 for the South Area (Barrow Borough Council and South Lakeland District Council), Lot 3 for the West Area (Allerdale District Council and Copeland Borough Council), and Lot 4 dedicated to countywide arboricultural works. The contract period runs from 1st May 2020 to 30th April 2022, with the tender process conducted using an open procurement method. The tender period concluded on 12th March 2020.

This procurement process presents excellent opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in construction and maintenance services, particularly those specialising in horticulture and arboriculture. Businesses with expertise in managing highway verges or providing tree surgery, especially within the North West region of the United Kingdom, will find this framework to be a valuable avenue for growth. Engaging in one or more of the lots allows these businesses to secure significant contracts while contributing to local government initiatives.
