The Council is looking to appoint up to 44 suppliers to the framework, which replaces the original YORcivil North and East Area Contractors Framework and builds upon its legacy of partnership and collaborative working. The agreement is one of two YORcivil2 Framework Agreements, set up primarily to serve the Yorkshire and Humber region (split geographically between North and East, and South and West areas).
The frameworks coverage also extends across a number of areas comprising of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the North East of England. The framework also covers authorities in the North East of England for lot 6 - coastal works.
