Description

The Contracting Authority is seeking to appoint a Contractor, or Contractors, for the maintenance of strategic and non-strategic highway verges within the Northumberland County Council highway network.

The areas to be covered are divided into 3 individual lots:

Lot 1 - Berwick and Islandshire
Lot 2 - Glendale
Lot 3 - Seahouses and Belford

The Contracting Authority was unable to allocate lots 1, 2 and 3 within the previous tender completed in 2024 under reference NCC1172 and is therefore re-tendering lots 1, 2 and 3 under reference NCC1172 (Supplementary) to align the contracts for Lots 1-3 with the contracts awarded for Lots 4-13.
