Published description of the framework

NY Highways is establishing a multi‑supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of Non‑Operated Plant Hire Services to support highway maintenance operations across North Yorkshire. The framework covers the hire of non‑operated plant, tools, welfare units and telehandlers, together with the servicing, maintenance and repair of Authority‑owned equipment. The framework is structured into five lots, each subdivided by operational area, allowing suppliers to tender for one or more lots and locations. Appointed suppliers will be required to provide planned hire services and a 24/7 emergency response, with call‑off contracts awarded by direct award based on availability, performance and submitted pricing. The framework will operate for an initial term of two years, with options to extend for up to a further two one‑year periods.
