The procurement is in the 'Award' stage following an open procedure, and contract signing was completed on 31 March 2025. Key industry categories involved include general public services. The contract term spans 720 days, with possible extensions subject to satisfactory performance. This presents a substantial project worth £866,000 per awarded lot. The Structures Framework 2024 offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering, construction, and related fields. Those with expertise in emergency works, vegetation management, and metal fabrication will find suitable roles within this framework. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are notably well-placed to compete, given that all successful suppliers in previous tenders are SMEs, ensuring ample room for business growth and collaboration. The open nature of the procurement method and the structured submission processes create a level playing field for businesses aiming to expand their market presence and establish long-term partnerships with a reputable regional authority. ## Notice Lot 1 Civil Works - East, North, South Lot 2 - Tree and Vegetation Clearance - East, North, South Lot 3 - Metalwork - East, North, South Lot 4 - Confined Spaces - East, North, South Lot 5 - Urgent / Emergency Works - East, North, South ### Lot Information Tree and Vegetation Clearance East Tree and Vegetation Clearance East as per Dashboard Renewal: 3.4.2 The Contract may be extended for up to two subsequent one year periods at the option of Argyll and Bute Council, subject to satisfactory performance of the contract and product discussions with the successful Tenderer(s).
