The agreement, set to begin on 1st August 2026, will last until 31st July 2028, with an option to extend by 24 months.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and hire of construction machinery and equipment, particularly those specialising in plant hire with trained operators. With a framework agreement that allows for call-off contracts based entirely on competitive pricing, businesses offering competitive rates and reliable service can secure repeat contracts within this framework. Companies with capabilities in logistics and quick response to varying site locations have an advantage, as the procurement process considers both pricing and logistical efficiency.
