Description

Colchester Borough Council, as lead authority for the North Essex Parking Partnership, is seeking a contractor to provide and remove road markings. These must meet all legal requirements to allow enforcement of the relevant traffic regulation orders, such as the Traffic Signs and General Directions 2016. The North Essex Parking Partnership manages on-street traffic regulation orders across Braintree, Colchester, Harlow, Epping Forest, Tendring and Uttlesford Districts and so the contractors must be able to work across all of these areas when required without council officer supervision.

The contractor will be required to undertake:

-The removal of road markings (using high pressure water jets and/or painting over)
-The laying of road markings using mechanical means
-The laying of road markings by hand

Full details will be provided within the tender documents.
