The framework is anticipated to commence on 1st May 2026 and will be open for a maximum of eight years.

Furthermore, the framework is open for access by other local public bodies, potentially widening the business prospects for suitable suppliers, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) registered on the Central Digital Platform. ## Notice Birmingham City Council is seeking to appoint organisations for the provision of Highways and Infrastructure Works via the Highways and Infrastructure Works Framework Agreement.
