Summary of the contracting process

The contracting authority, Derby City Council, completed a procurement process to acquire two new tractors under the title "GB-Derby: TPPL Derby City Council NEPO GM & P Lot 1 - 2 x Tractors (New) (31865)" within the industry category classified under CPV code 16700000, focused on Tractors. The process concluded with an active award on 15th May 2026, and the contract commenced on the 18th May 2026, ending on the 18th June 2026. Taking place in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, the tender was identified with the internal ID BIP1043336863 and involved a procurement value of £190,000. The procurement method details were not specified, yet the process successfully transitioned through the tender and award stages. The council's contact, Adrian Ball, was pivotal in the coordination, reachable at their Derby office.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of agricultural machinery and equipment, particularly those specialising in tractor technology. The procurement was ultimately awarded to B & B Tractors (Bowring Transport), a large-scale supplier, indicating that businesses with substantial operational capacity and experience in handling large goods orders are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Companies looking to expand their portfolio within local government contracts and the East Midlands region would benefit greatly from staying informed about such opportunities presented by Derby City Council and similar entities. Although this particular tender did not have specified procurement method details, learning from the successful supplier's approach could offer strategic insights into competitive tendering in this sector.
