Please send some example (i) schedules of rates and (ii) frameworks that include traffic management / temporary traffic light products / services

Please see this Devon County Council webpage for the schedules of rates.
The council follows national guidance in provision of traffic management /temporary traffic light requirements and specification.
This includes The Form of Contract for Highways Maintenance Services and other publicly available guidance.
Frameworks are for 4 years and other contracts vary.
What are the criteria that councils use to evaluate traffic management providers against their frameworks? (e.g. quality – what comprises this? Environmental / H&S considerations?)
Which KPIs does the council use to keep track of these objectives? (e.g. how is quality / price measured and compared)
The County Council approaches its decision making based on specific needs for each project and the criteria for evaluation are considered as part of each instance.
As such it is not possible to state general criteria as the factors will vary according to the needs of each individual project, therefore Devon County Council does not hold this information.
