Grounds Maintenance Equipment Framework
Authority: Braintree District Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Essex Procurement Partnership (EPP - formerly known as EPH Essex Procurement Hub) is part of Braintree District Council and lets and manages national framework agreements. EPP are seeking to renew their framework for the provision of Grounds Maintenance equipment (including delivery, parts, service, repairs, maintenance and end of life) and wish to conduct some early market engagement to help inform what the framework might look like going forward.
EPP would encourage interested parties to help us to shape this framework. Initially, engagement will be in the form of a questionnaire which should be completed using this link www.braintree.gov.uk/xfp/form/664 ↗ no later than 22/03/2024. The Responses will be reviewed, and we may contact respondents with follow up questions depending on the findings.
This will be a national four-year framework agreement available to all Public Sector Bodies around the UK, with an estimated value between £2m and £3m. We are considering options for direct award and further competition. Throughput on our current and similar version of this framework agreement is in the region of £1.5m.
