Description

The framework is a new procurement approach for the provision of the inspection and service maintenance of cableways, bringing the service requirement together throughout England. Cableways are used to measure open river current flow of water and generally used where it is not possible to carry out the activity safely by wading into the river. There are 153 cableway sites that require inspection, service and remedial maintenance.

There will be no restrictions placed on the number of Lot's an operator can be awarded a placement on.

An initial call off will be made by all 11 geographic areas to contract with the highest ranked Tenderer offering the most economically advantageous solution based on the award criteria for each of the 3 Lot's as set out in the framework agreement, all further call off contracts with be reliant on both the capacity and capability of the Tenderers as well as ranking.
