Summary of the contracting process

The Plant & Equipment Hire Framework has been initiated by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, a regional authority based in the United Kingdom. This contracting process, classified under the services category, involves hiring industrial vehicles with drivers, focused on two primary lots: one with operators and the other without. The procurement began on 1st July 2025 and spans two years with optional extensions of two additional 12-month periods. The framework covers the UKC region and is conducted via an open procurement method. Awarded contracts for both lots were activated on 26th September 2025, with several suppliers, including Herring Plant Hire Limited and GAP Group Limited, being contracted for their services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specializing in plant and equipment hire services. Given the framework's extensive scope and the potential for two years of service provision, companies that can provide quality and competitive pricing are well-positioned to compete. The procurement process favours SMEs, as shown by several small to medium enterprises being among the awarded suppliers. Businesses operating in the UKC region or capable of logistics and service provision in this area would be ideal candidates to benefit from participating in similar tenders in the future.
