The Association of North East Councils Ltd trading as the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) is seeking to establish a multi-contractor, multi-lot Framework for the provision of a highways surfacing works framework.

5 Hot Applied High Friction Surfacing

6 Cold Applied High Friction Surfacing

NEPO intends that the Framework period is up to 8 years with readvertisement before year 3 and year 5, prior to expiry of the Framework term. As such, suppliers which have not been appointed to this Framework will have the opportunity to be appointed to the subsequent framework.
