Cheshire East Council is looking to create a framework for the installation of public rights of way (PROW) furniture and associated PROW and countryside access works. The framework will run for 3 years (from August 2026) with the option to extend for one further 12-month period. The PROW network within the borough of Cheshire East Council is currently managed by four area PROW Network Management & Enforcement Officers.

For the framework, the successful contractors will be ranked, with the contractor scoring the highest (quality + financial scores) being first. The top ranked contractor will be offered packages of work, where the provider does not have the capability and capacity, or is suspended or removed from the framework this work will be offered to the second ranked contractor and so on. The Supplier acknowledges that, in entering into this Framework Agreement, no form of exclusivity or volume guarantee has been granted by the Authority for the Services and that the Authority is at all times entitled to enter into other contract and arrangements with other suppliers for the provision of any or all services which are the same as or similar to the Services.
