The work supports planned routine highway maintenance, highway improvements and privately funded work connected with highways. It is divided into two service areas: North Area, covering North Norfolk, and South Area, covering South Norfolk. The requirement is for gully-cleaning services delivered by mechanical means, with successful suppliers appointed to a closed framework. Norse Eastern Ltd is managing the tender on behalf of the buyer. Work is to be carried out in Norfolk areas identified as North and South, with the wider delivery area covering the relevant parts of eastern England. Both lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, subject to meeting the tender requirements. The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. Questions were due by 4 September 2026 at 23:59, and bids by 8 September 2026 at 11:00; the award decision was due by 16 September 2026 at 23:59. The estimated value is £2,160,000 excluding VAT (£2,592,000 including VAT). Each lot is valued at £1,080,000 excluding VAT (£1,296,000 including VAT). Each contract is scheduled from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with three possible 12-month extensions, giving a potential end date of 30 September 2030. The framework may appoint up to four suppliers, with later awards based on price and availability. Evaluation for each lot is 60% price, 30% quality and 10% corporate social responsibility. This opportunity suits suppliers that can provide mechanical grip cleaning and related gully-cleaning services for planned highway maintenance across North or South Norfolk. Bidders need to be suitably qualified to carry out the required works and able to serve the relevant area. The framework approach is intended for suppliers able to respond to later requirements, with work allocated through further competition based on price and availability. Commercially, businesses can bid for a defined geographic area rather than the whole requirement, and both lots are identified as suitable for SMEs. Strong performance will depend on competitive pricing, demonstrable service quality and credible corporate social responsibility arrangements, as these factors account for the full evaluation. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to evidence their quality approach and CSR commitments alongside their mechanical cleaning capability. ## Notice Norse Highways, a Trading division of Norse Eastern, undertake a programme of planned routine maintenance including grip cleaning, highways improvements and an element of privately funded work attached to the Highway. Norse Highways are seeking suitably qualified bids for the supply of Grip Cleaning by mechanical means. Successful bidders will be appointed to a closed framework to provide the forementioned works services.
