## Description

The purpose of this tender is to establish a framework agreement for visual and structural inspection and testing services of street lighting columns and traffic sign poles \(or other similar structures\) to determine their condition which can be accessed by organisational bodies participatory to the framework\.

The street lighting units will typically be circular, hexagonal or octagonal in cross section and will typically be 4 metres, 5m, 6m, 8m, 10m or 12m in height\. Traffic sign units will typically be circular or box in cross section and will typically be 2,2 metres, 3m, 4m or 5m in height\. Occasionally, fold-down street lighting columns or traffic sign poles may be included\.

The framework agreement will consist of 9 lots based on indicative, strength and other test methods that are specified in the Institution of Lighting Professionals \(ILP\) Guidance Note 22 'Asset Management Toolkit: Minor Structures'\.

The financial value of the framework agreement as stated in this notice is an estimated value should the framework run for the full 4 year period, however the actual financial value may differ\.
