two.1.4) Short description

North Lanarkshire Council (the “Council”) propose to establish a multi-lot Framework with multiple-Contractors for the provision of a Garden Assistance Scheme.

Proposed Duration is June-October 2023, with option to extend for grass cutting season 2024 (March to October).

.

For 2023 requirements, the service will include but not be limited to 6 grass cuts, 2 hedge trims, 2 weedkills.
