Published requirement description

North Yorkshire Highways (NYH) requires a Framework Agreement for the hire of non‑operated plant, tools, welfare units and telehandlers, together with the servicing, repair, maintenance and calibration of NYH-owned plant and equipment. The framework will support highways maintenance operations across seven operational areas in North Yorkshire. The framework will operate for an initial term of two years, with options to extend for up to two further one‑year periods, and is divided into five lots covering plant hire, small tools and equipment, welfare units, telehandlers and the maintenance of NYH-owned assets. Suppliers must provide modern, safe and fully compliant equipment with all required certification, alongside planned and emergency response services, including delivery, breakdown support and replacement equipment where required. The framework will ensure continuous access to reliable equipment and responsive support services essential to the delivery of highways maintenance activities across North Yorkshire.

How this framework works

From the published notice

Type: Closed framework

Bids received: 4 bids on the busiest of 5 lots · 4 suppliers appointed
Framework period: 2 yrs · up to 4 yrs from 1 Sept 2026

Published description of the framework

This Framework Agreement operates as a multi-supplier arrangement for the provision of non-operated plant hire services. Suppliers are appointed to the Framework following a quality-based evaluation, with pricing submitted as part of the framework tender but not scored at award stage.

Call-off contracts are awarded by direct award without reopening competition. Prices are determined using the rates submitted in the Framework Pricing Schedule, and each requirement is awarded to the supplier offering the lowest modelled price for the required items, subject to availability and ability to meet delivery requirements. Where a supplier is unable to fulfil the requirement, the opportunity is offered to the next ranked supplier
