Decision details

To seek approval for re-procurement of the Seasonal Vegetation Cutting Programme.
The current framework agreement expires on 31 March 2025.

To undertake a procurement exercise for delivery of a Seasonal Vegetation Cutting Programme. The current framework agreement expires on 31 March 2025.

North Yorkshire Council requires a provider (or number of providers) to cut seasonal vegetation to maintain the public rights of way (PROW) across North Yorkshire. All specified routes are to be cut a minimum of once per annum with an additional second cut, if required. The framework will also include provision for spraying of obnoxious weeds.

The new framework agreement will commence from 1 April 2025.

The service does not have capacity to undertake this work in house and therefore we need to seek external providers who can undertake this work on behalf of the service.
