Award of Contract for Winter Gritter Fleet

The provision of a winter gritter fleet is critical to ensuring the County Council can meet its statutory duty to maintain the highways and to ensure that, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe passage along a highway is not endangered by snow or ice. The contract awarded for these services in 2021 is due to end in April 2022 and a new contract is required.

 

In accordance with the Council’s Standing Orders on Procurement and Contracts and the key decision made by the Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure, the Assistant Director (Highways, Transport and Planning) will be asked to award and enter into a three year contract for the provision of a leased winter gritter fleet.
