Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council bought one 3.5-tonne arbor hoist, a specialist vehicle for arboricultural work such as lifting and handling equipment or materials. The procurement falls within specialist vehicles and is categorised as goods. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, for a council based in Scunthorpe. The requirement is specific rather than a broad fleet or general vehicle supply contract: businesses relevant to it are manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist vehicle suppliers able to provide an arbor hoist of the stated capacity. The named public-sector buyer is North Lincolnshire Council, whose operations are likely to require purpose-built equipment for tree-care or related services. The requirement was handled as a North Lincolnshire Council lot within the TPPL/NEPO HGV arrangement.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The tender submission deadline was 23 January 2026. North Lincolnshire Council evaluated the requirement through a tender process for goods, and the award was made on 28 August 2026. Versalift United Kingdom Limited was selected for the contract at £161,635. The contract period runs from 29 August 2026 to 29 September 2026. The published requirement concerned one 3.5-tonne arbor hoist, with the same value recorded for the tender and award. The process was associated with a specific lot for an arbor hoist within the TPPL North Lincolnshire Council NEPO HGV procurement. The procurement was marked complete after the active award was recorded.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this award shows that North Lincolnshire Council purchases highly specialised arboricultural vehicles rather than standard heavy goods vehicles alone. A credible competitor would need to supply a complete 3.5-tonne arbor hoist and demonstrate the technical ability to meet a tightly defined vehicle specification. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist vehicle manufacturers, conversion companies and established distributors with access to suitable equipment, engineering support and after-sales servicing. The buyer’s assessment that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs indicates a requirement aligned with larger suppliers or businesses with substantial production, distribution or delivery capacity. Experience supplying public-sector or fleet customers, and the ability to deliver within the Yorkshire and the Humber area, would strengthen a future response.
