## Summary

The Dorset Highways Contractor Resource (Labour Top-Up) Framework is a public procurement initiative led by Dorset Council, in collaboration with Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. This multi-supplier framework is categorised under 'works', specifically focusing on joinery and carpentry installation work. The primary purpose of this framework is to source contractors who can support the Councils' in-house Highways Operations Teams when additional capacity is needed to carry out various works. The procurement process has been completed and falls under the open procedure, with significant contract values signed on 8th December 2020. The framework operates within the regions of Dorset, Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole, UK.

This procurement opportunity presents an ideal avenue for businesses engaged in construction, particularly those specialising in skilled trades such as carpentry, bricklaying, traffic management, and excavation services. Given that many lots within the framework have actively engaged numerous suppliers, including both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger companies, there is substantial scope for competitive bidding. Companies that can demonstrate quality service alongside competitive pricing, particularly in labour provision for highway construction and maintenance, will be well-positioned to capitalise on this contract and potentially secure partnerships with local councils for ongoing projects.
