Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council bought three 12-tonne road sweepers, described as Scarab Merlin 62 dual-sweep vehicles. This is a vehicle supply requirement for the council’s road-cleaning operations, with delivery in the East Midlands. The procurement was made through Lot 4 of the Hertfordshire County Council vehicle-purchasing framework. The specified vehicle model and capacity indicate a requirement for heavy-duty municipal street-sweeping equipment rather than general-purpose vehicles.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Scarab Sweepers. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the recorded award value is £530,000. The contract period runs from 24 to 25 September 2026. The council used a selective procedure to place a call-off under an existing framework agreement, rather than running a standalone open competition. The original tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was for three road sweepers, handled as one purchase; the framework call-off route governed the purchase. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable to participate.

For suppliers of municipal road-sweeping vehicles, this award demonstrates Nottingham City Council’s demand for three heavy-duty, 12-tonne sweepers with dual-sweep capability. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply vehicles matching the specified operational capacity and sweeping configuration, with the ability to deliver into the East Midlands. The purchase was routed through a vehicle procurement framework, so access to an appropriate framework and the ability to fulfil a council fleet requirement through a call-off are commercially relevant. The awarded supplier was Scarab Sweepers, and the requirement was described around its Scarab Merlin 62 model. This is evidence of demand for specialist road-sweeping vehicles, not a general vehicle supply opportunity. SME suitability was recorded for the procurement.
