Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured municipal cleaning equipment comprising four road sweepers and one scrubbing deck. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, focused on equipment used to clean roads and other hard surfaces. The procurement was for delivery in the East Midlands, with Derby City Council as the buying organisation. The classification describes miscellaneous equipment (CPV 39300000), with road sweepers as an additional classification. The scope is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of road-cleaning and surface-scrubbing machinery. It is a single equipment requirement, rather than a wider maintenance, staffing or cleaning-services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 August 2026 to Karcher UK Limited. The awarded value is £400,511.55. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 4 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026. The overall estimated value was also £400,511.55. The published requirement covered four sweepers and one scrubbing deck. Derby City Council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the available outcome shows one supplier receiving the full stated award value. The procurement was evaluated through a tender process, with no separate evaluation weighting recorded in the available details.

This award demonstrates established demand from Derby City Council for road sweepers and scrubbing equipment at a substantial equipment scale. A credible future competitor would need to supply or manufacture municipal-grade road-cleaning machinery, including both sweeping and surface-scrubbing equipment, and be able to provide a coordinated package rather than a single unrelated product. The requirement favours suppliers with the capacity to deliver multiple machines, manage public-sector purchasing processes and support equipment suitable for local-authority operations in the East Midlands. The council’s assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs indicates that comparable future requirements may favour larger suppliers or businesses operating through strong distribution, manufacturing or partnership arrangements.
