## Summary

Falkirk Council has launched a procurement process to secure a framework agreement for the short-term hire of operated plant machinery, specifically covering construction work for highways and roads. This initiative is currently in the active tender stage, with a total estimated value of £6.7 million. Bidders should be aware that the deadline for submissions is set for 21st June 2021, and all activities are expected to take place within the Falkirk Council area of operations. The procurement follows an open procedure, and there are several lots available, including backhoe loaders, excavators, and sweepers.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for local and regional businesses, especially those equipped to provide plant hire services and related operational support.
