The Council wishes to procure a framework for the hire of a range of non-operated small plant to support an in house delivery model of highway maintenance. The service will be a top up service to supplement the Council’s own small plant in times of high workload, provide cover for breakdown and to supply infrequently used equipment.

All plant must meet the appropriate requirements of the specification set out in Schedule 2 and the rates submitted in the pricing schedule must be inclusive of delivery and travel time to the local depot or to site (unless otherwise indicated in the pricing schedule) and should include for all reasonable associated equipment such as trailers, dust suppressors, etc.

The framework will be countywide and a maximum of 3 suppliers will be appointed. Orders will be issued based on the best value supplier for each order.
