It enables the County Council to use a variety of qualified contractors to deliver works that fall outside of the PRoW maintenance contract. The existing Framework Agreement ends on 31st March 2023 and the County Council is now preparing a procurement process to replace the Framework Agreement, with tendering anticipated in October 2022. The value of the new Framework Agreement is estimated to be ~£400k per annum in total, and £1.6m over the maximum 4-year term. We are now conducting a market engagement exercise and would be grateful for your thoughts on how we can make the new Framework Agreement a success.
