Framework Agreement

Maximum Participants

Period Rationale
This is proportionate due to the Council's large geography, remote locations, limited contractor capacity, and the need for service continuity. The extended duration will encourage contractor investment, improve market participation, resilience and support the wider Highland framework programme. This will deliver better value for money while reducing procurement and operational risks.
