Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured four compact sweepers and two weed brush attachments for street cleansing and environmental maintenance. The equipment is intended to remove litter, debris, dirt and unwanted vegetation from roads, footpaths, public spaces and other hard-surfaced areas. The purchase supports cleaner and safer public environments, more effective cleansing operations and reduced reliance on manual labour. This is a goods procurement for specialist municipal cleaning equipment, with delivery in England. The requirement combines vehicle-mounted or compact sweeping equipment with weed-removal attachments, for use across the council’s public spaces and roads.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Aebi Schmidt UK Ltd on 3 September 2026 through a direct award. The council’s stated estimated value was £384,000; the award value was £375,332. The awarded contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 April 2028. The tender submission deadline was 27 August 2026. The requirement was for one package of four compact sweepers and two weed brush attachments, with no separate lots recorded. The published suitability assessment marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Leicester City Council, this award demonstrates a requirement for a combined supply of compact sweepers and weed brush attachments, rather than cleaning services alone. A credible competitor would need to supply equipment capable of removing litter, debris, dirt and unwanted vegetation from roads, footpaths and other hard surfaces, supporting the council’s street-cleansing and environmental-maintenance operations. The selected supplier was Aebi Schmidt UK Ltd, recorded as a large business. The council’s assessment marked the opportunity unsuitable for SMEs, indicating that the scale or requirements may favour suppliers able to fulfil a multi-unit equipment package. The procurement used a direct award route.
