## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Wrexham County Borough Council sought to establish a framework agreement for the repair and maintenance of public rights of way within the region UKL23. Despite its initial planning stages, the tender has been cancelled as of 23 February 2026, following a need for internal review of the tender documentation. This cancellation impacted the planned contract beginning on 1 April 2026. The project's industry category involved construction structures and maintenance services, with anticipated council allocation to three contractors. Enquiries were scheduled to terminate on 2 March 2026, with tender submissions expected by 9 March 2026. Initially, the tender was to operate under Welsh devolved regulations using an ‘open’ procurement method below the threshold via Bravo Solutions platform.

This framework originally presented an opportunity for businesses in construction and maintenance, particularly small and medium enterprises, due to suitability criteria favouring such firms. It called for contractors skilled in installation of pedestrian gates, stiles, signposts, and clearing paths, including those without direct vehicular access. This procurement intended to foster business growth through a competitive environment focused on cost-effectiveness, with the financial scope of up to £200,000 for successful contractors. Future reconsideration of this framework upon document review might open paths again for local contractors, creating valuable opportunities to engage in municipal infrastructure development.

## Notice

Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) is looking to establish a framework agreement to carry out maintenance work on Public Rights of Way. It is anticipated that no more than three contractors will be appointed to the framework to carry out the contracted work. There are approximately 1,500 public rights of way within the County Borough which amounts to 850km. The Public Rights of Way section installs approximately 150 galvanised pedestrian gates, 100 stiles and 150 signposts annually. In addition to this, ditch crossings and small footbridges are installed together with the installation of handrails and steps and path clearance work. In addition to the general maintenance work which can include some strimming, 145,005 metres of strimming is carried out across the County Borough in May, July and late August averaging approximately 48,335 metres of strimming per month. Contractors have the option of whether they wish to tender for this work and need to be aware that some of the paths are located in rural areas where vehicular access is not always possible. Contractors can be expected to walk up to 5 or 10 minutes to reach part of a path that requires strimming. In November of each year approximately 25 paths will also need to be cleared of leaf litter.
