Roadside Signage Installation on Public Rights of Way July 2023 - AWARD

Tender description

Worcestershire has around 16,000 individual public rights of way covering 4,600km. This network, made up of footpaths, bridleways and byways, provides the public with a means of access on foot, horseback, cycle and on a small number of routes, using motorised vehicles. The network is used mostly for informal recreation but also in some locations, as important means of accessing shops, schools, places of employment and other services. Worcestershire County Council has the statutory responsibility to ensure that the county's Public Rights of Way network are properly mapped and maintained and the network is unobstructed and available for use by the public. This responsibility is managed by the Public Rights of Way Team, working with landowners and occupiers, volunteers and appointed Service Providers. An important part of the Council's work is replacing roadside signposts across the Public Rights of Way (PROW) network. The number of signs replaced each year can vary but is typically between 200 to 300 across the county. In most cases these are following reports from the public. The purpose of the Tender is to identify a suitable organisation to provide an ongoing programme of replacement of roadside signposts on Public Rights of Way.
