Decision

Procure via mini competition using Lot 1 (Spray Injection Patching) of the current Specialist Highway Patching Framework two spray injection patching machine for 9 weeks to work in the South Cumberland area.

Reasons for the decision

To allow quick and efficient repair of potholes and carriageway irregularities and allow the council to react promptly to defects identified through inspections and reports from the public.

Alternative options considered

The alternative option was not to procure spray injection patching machine. But this would reduce the council’s options to respond proactively to highway defects
