## Summary

The Westmorland and Furness Council has completed an award for the procurement of a framework for the hire of a range of non-operated small plant to support highway maintenance. This framework, titled "Highways Non-Operated Plant," falls under the industry category of transport equipment and auxiliary products. The procurement stage has been marked as complete, with a contract value of £1,200,000 signed on January 11, 2024. The contracting process was carried out openly using an open procedure.

Businesses that provide transport equipment and related services would find opportunities in competing for supplying non-operated small plant for highway maintenance through this framework. The Council's preference for a maximum of 2 suppliers appointed for this framework offers a chance for smaller to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate. The clear award criteria of 80% quality and 20% price sets a transparent basis for competing suppliers to meet the Council's requirements and potentially expand their business presence in the region.

## Notice

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. All plant must meet the appropriate requirements of the Specification set out in Schedule 2 and the rates submitted in the Pricing Schedule must be inclusive of delivery and travel time to the local depot or to site (unless otherwise indicated in the pricing schedule) and should include for all reasonable associated equipment such as trailers, dust suppressors, etc. The framework will be council wide and a maximum of 2 suppliers will be appointed. Orders will be issued based on the best value supplier for each order. A map of the Council area is included in the specification.
