The framework is expected to run for an initial period of 2 years with an option to extend for a further period or periods of 2 years, taking the contract term to a maximum of 4 years. The total estimated value stated includes the option period (including the Spend profile, where an approximate/simple estimate has been applied to spread this out over 4 potentially applicable Financial years, or spring/summer seasons, including the option period).

The exact requirements are to be confirmed, however the anticipated main requirements for each surface dressing season are:

1) A reliable source of premium grade binder 2) The hire of two storage tanks (minimum capacity: 54 tonnes) 3) The hire of two spray tankers (carrying capacity: 16-18 tonnes)

Depending on LCC's future budgets, LCC may have additional requirements for some or all of the surface dressing seasons from 2026-2028. The potential future additional requirements are:

4) The hire of one spray tanker with a carrying capacity of 10-12 tonnes 5) The hire of up to two experienced and appropriately qualified spray tanker drivers 6) The hire of up to two experienced and appropriately qualified spray bar operatives
