Cumbria County Council awarded a contract to A-Plant and Hire Station Ltd for the provision of a non-operated plant hire framework to support in-house highway maintenance.

The framework, valued at AUD 700,000, was divided into three lots based on District Council boundaries: South (South Lakeland and Barrow), East (Eden and Carlisle), and West (Allerdale and Copeland).

The service supplements the Council's own small plant during high workload periods, provides breakdown cover, and supplies infrequently used equipment.
