Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Redditch Borough Council, involves the purchase of a new Scarab Merlin 55 along with a maintenance contract under the industry category of 'Road sweepers'. The procurement was executed through a direct award via the ESPO 215_24 Lot 3 Specialist Vehicle Framework. The contract was awarded to Scarab Sweepers Limited, emphasising the contract was completed on 23 January 2026, with a contract period running from 26 January 2026 to 27 January 2031.

This initiative falls under the 'Award' stage of the procurement cycle.

This tender presents growth opportunities especially for small and medium enterprises specialising in the manufacturing or maintenance of road sweeping vehicles.

As the council values efficiency, companies that can demonstrate reliability and technical expertise in vehicle provision and aftercare services would be well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities.
