Published requirement description

The Council is seeking to establish a Highways Winter Service Framework. The Framework will be divided into 8 Lots. Winter Service is such that the amount of work required will invariably change each year. The winter season runs from 1st October to 1st May and runs a 24/7 service. The Winter Service will be carried out using gritters, vehicles, associated winter services plant and appropriately-trained drivers provided by the contractor. The contractor may be allocated a type of salting route, patrol route or snow clearing routes under the separate Lots. The routes may be varied at any time during the contract period.

No preliminary market engagement: Bidders events held at start of tender period for potential and interested parties to provide further information and guidance on e-tendering

CPV: Snow-clearing services · Snowploughs and snowblowers · Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation · Winter equipments · Winter-maintenance materials

9 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 8 and win at most 8 of them · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £100,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.
