Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured three compact road sweepers for delivery in the East Midlands. This is a goods purchase of specialist road-maintenance vehicles, rather than a road-cleaning service contract. The requirement was for compact sweepers, with the procurement description linking it to a framework category for sweeper conversions up to 44 tonnes. The council is the buying organisation and the vehicles are intended for use in its area. The requirement may suit manufacturers and specialist vehicle suppliers able to provide compact road sweepers and support the specified conversion type. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Aebi Schmidt UK Ltd. Nottinghamshire County Council used a direct award as a call-off from the HGV and Specialist Vehicles Procurement Framework, under its sweeper-conversions category. The award was made on 11 August 2026 for £252,024. The contract period runs from 23 September to 30 November 2026. The tender deadline was 29 July 2026. The process records one award for the three sweepers; no separate lot awards are described. The published information does not set out an evaluation formula or additional eligibility requirements, beyond the framework route and the stated SME suitability.

This award demonstrates demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for a small fleet of compact road sweepers procured through an established specialist-vehicle framework, rather than through an open competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be able to supply compact sweepers and meet the relevant framework’s requirements for sweeper conversions up to 44 tonnes. Credibility is likely to depend on having an eligible route to supply through that framework and the operational capacity to deliver multiple specialist vehicles within a short contract period. The award went to Aebi Schmidt UK Ltd, a supplier recorded as an SME. Businesses with relevant vehicle-manufacturing, conversion or supply capability may find this buyer’s repeat requirements commercially relevant, while firms without specialist sweeper capability or access to the framework are less closely aligned.
