Description

Argyll and Bute Council is looking to appoint contractors to a Traffic Management Services Framework to be used by Roads & Infrastructure Services. Installing, Maintaining and Removing Temporary Traffic Management on Rural and Urban Roads as per Chapter 8 of standards for safe execution of programmed construction works. The framework will allow roads and amenities staff to arrange traffic management services when required, without the need for an individual procurement process. The framework is to be formed by all qualified contractors with no limit to number of participating contractors. Please note that a framework agreement is not a contract and as such there is no guarantee of any volume of work. Each order (call off) constitutes a separate contract.
