Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council bought an electric counterbalance forklift truck for Harvey Road Depot, including its stores, to replace an existing diesel truck. The replacement is specified with an enclosed cab for indoor work and use outdoors in all weather. The requirement covers both purchase and maintenance of the forklift. Delivery is to the depot in Nottingham, England. This is a goods procurement for forklift trucks, intended to support the council’s depot and stores operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bennie Equipment Limited. The council used an open procedure below the procurement threshold. The award was made on 1 August 2026 for £48,000, with the contract running from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The tender’s estimated value was also £48,000. The submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at noon. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available award information records one successful supplier and does not describe separate lots or an evaluation weighting.

For suppliers of forklift trucks and associated servicing, this award demonstrates Nottingham City Council’s demand for a replacement counterbalance vehicle supplied with ongoing maintenance. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide an electric truck with an enclosed cab suited to both indoor depot use and outdoor operation in all weather, as well as the capacity to maintain it throughout the contract. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale was able to meet the requirement. Businesses focused on diesel-only equipment, sales without maintenance support, or vehicles unsuitable for mixed indoor and all-weather outdoor use would be less closely aligned with this particular need.
