Framework: winning a place puts you on an approved list for future work. It's the entry ticket, not guaranteed work.

In plain English

Argyll and Bute Council wants to set up a framework of contractors to install, maintain and remove temporary traffic management on rural and urban roads across the area, for use by its Roads & Infrastructure Services team when needed. A place on the framework is the entry ticket to future call-off orders, not a guarantee of work, and is split into 3 lots.

  • Must follow Chapter 8 traffic management standards as per Chapter 8 of standards for safe execution of programmed construction works
  • No guaranteed work, orders are separate contracts a framework agreement is not a contract and as such there is no guarantee of any volume of work
