It is anticipated that the framework will commence in December 2023 for 2 years, with an option to extend for up to 24 months. The Commercial aspect of the framework will be based around larger, planned works on multiple properties per call off project and the Domestic aspect will be based on responsive maintenance and repairs. The Council are anticipating that the Domestic side will be predominantly attractive to SME’s as the works are of a smaller scale.
