Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured one new telescopic wheeled loadall, a specialist vehicle for its operational requirements. The purchase falls within the goods category and is classified as a specialist vehicle. Delivery was required in the North East of England. The buying organisation is Durham County Council, based at County Hall in Durham. The requirement was for a single machine rather than a wider fleet, service contract or works package. Businesses relevant to this procurement include manufacturers, dealers and specialist equipment suppliers able to provide a new telescopic wheeled loadall and arrange its delivery to the North East. The procurement was conducted for the council’s own purchasing needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to JG Paxton & Sons on 14 July 2026. The awarded value was £59,995 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 15 August 2026. Bids were due by 22 May 2026. The process used a tender procedure and was managed by Durham County Council. The requirement covered one item: a new telescopic wheeled loadall. The tender was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with JG Paxton & Sons identified as the selected supplier. The procurement’s stated category was goods, rather than services or works.

This award shows established demand from Durham County Council for new telescopic wheeled loadalls in the North East. Competitors would need to be able to supply a new machine matching the council’s operational requirement, manage delivery in the region and complete a short equipment supply contract. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and the selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation. Larger vehicle dealers, manufacturers and specialist plant or agricultural machinery suppliers are therefore the closest fit for a future requirement of this type. Credibility would come from a reliable supply chain, access to suitable new telescopic loadall equipment, and experience serving public-sector or comparable operational customers.
