Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council procured two 5-tonne compact road sweepers for delivery in the East of England. This is a goods requirement for heavy-duty motor vehicles, covering the supply of complete road-sweeping machines rather than a road-cleaning service. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the NEPO224 framework, so it is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist vehicle suppliers able to provide compact sweepers through an applicable public-sector framework route. The named requirement is specifically for two vehicles, giving suppliers a clear indication of the equipment type and operational scale sought by the council. The buyer is Uttlesford District Council, based at its council offices in Saffron Walden, England.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 8 September 2026 to Aebi Schmidt UK Ltd for £215,582 excluding any separately stated additions. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 23 October 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement’s estimated and awarded value are both £215,582, and the award is active. The process used the NEPO224 framework route rather than an open tender, meaning participation depended on access to, and eligibility under, the relevant framework. The purchase covers two 5-tonne compact road sweepers for the council’s East of England delivery location.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear benchmark for supplying compact road sweepers to Uttlesford District Council: two 5-tonne vehicles were bought through a public-sector framework call-off from a specialist heavy-duty vehicle supplier. A credible future competitor would need suitable compact sweeper products, the capacity to supply two complete vehicles, and the operational ability to deliver them within a short contract period. Access to the relevant framework route is commercially important, because this purchase was made through a selective call-off rather than an open tender. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist vehicle manufacturers, distributors or equipment businesses may be well placed to compete where they can meet framework, product and delivery requirements.
