Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured a three-year maintenance service for four new pavement sweepers. This is a vehicle and specialist equipment maintenance requirement, covering the upkeep of sweepers used for pavement-cleaning operations. The service is delivered for the council in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Derby. The procurement is categorised as a service for transport equipment and related products. It may suit businesses that maintain road-sweeping, street-cleansing or other municipal vehicle fleets, particularly those able to support pavement sweepers as a defined equipment type. The requirement concerns ongoing maintenance rather than the supply of the sweepers themselves, so relevant experience should centre on servicing, repairs and technical support for this type of specialist cleaning equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 August 2026 to Kärcher (U.K.) Limited. The award value is £45,000. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2029. The procurement used a direct award via a framework, described as an ‘Other’ procurement method, rather than an open competition. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026. The award was made on the basis of the framework route; no separate quality or price weighting is stated. The arrangement covers one requirement for maintenance of four pavement sweepers. The recorded tender value is also £45,000, while the awarded value is £45,000. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that Derby City Council buys planned maintenance support for a small fleet of new pavement sweepers through a framework-based direct award route. A future competitor would need practical capability in maintaining pavement sweepers and the capacity to support four machines over a sustained service arrangement. Credibility is likely to depend on demonstrable technical knowledge of the relevant equipment, reliable response and repair arrangements, and the ability to provide continuing maintenance rather than isolated workshop work. Kärcher (U.K.) Limited was recorded as a large supplier, while the requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs. Businesses considering similar council work should therefore assess their fleet-maintenance scale, framework access and evidence of delivering dependable municipal equipment support.
