## Summary

The Westmorland and Furness Council is seeking external suppliers for gully cleansing services to support winter gritting routes. The procurement involves services classified under gully cleaning and emptying services. The contract value is £240,000, with a tender period ending on January 12, 2024. The Council is located in Kendal, United Kingdom, and is actively looking for suppliers who can meet the diverse requirements of the region.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses specializing in service provision to contribute to critical winter maintenance activities. Suppliers offering gully cleansing services with a focus on quality and cost competitiveness are well-suited to compete.

## Notice

Westmorland and Furness Council requires assistance from an external supplier, to provide support with gully cleansing services on the Priority 1 and Priority 2 winter gritting routes. The Council has in house gully cleansing capability; however, resources are limited, and internal operations teams are struggling to keep up with demand on both routine and reactive gully works. Moving into autumn and winter months, the demand on the service increases as weather conditions deteriorate. There is a greater risk of hazards presented by surface water runoff and flooding from blocked drains, which increases the risk of ice during freezing conditions.
