Contingency resources to assist with Winter Maintenance Operations

Total Quantity or Scope

The City of Edinburgh Council intends to put in place a framework agreement for the provision of contingency resources to assist with Winter Maintenance Operations, which is currently carried out by internal Council services including Roads Operations and Waste & Cleansing. Following the severe weather conditions experienced during the winters of 2008/9 and 2009/10, it was recognised that a contingency framework was required to respond to severe weather events, when internal Council services are operating at capacity.

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** It is a mandatory requirement of this Framework Agreement that a prompt payment clause is present in all Contracts used in the delivery of the requirements. This ensures payment of sub-contractors at all stages of the supply chain within 30 days and includes an obligation to provide a point of contact for sub-contractors to refer to in the case of payment difficulties. This will require active monitoring of payment performance as well as the provision of evidence and reports to the Council on request or as contractually scheduled. (SC Ref:746843)
