Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council is conducting an open procedure tender for the hire and maintenance of small plant and tools under a framework agreement titled "Hire of Small Plant and Tools." This procurement process is classified under the agricultural machinery and machine tools industry categories and serves the Manchester region (UKD3) with a gross value of £540,000. The tender is split into two lots focusing on Highways Handheld Plant Equipment and Ground Maintenance Equipment. Key dates include the submission deadline on 4th August 2025, with the award period concluding on 1st September 2025. The framework is intended to run from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2027, with a potential extension lasting until September 2029.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of small plant hire and maintenance services, particularly those equipped to deliver both ICE and battery/electric-powered tools. SMEs will find the opportunity well-suited to their capabilities, considering the Council allows for a framework agreement accessible to other Greater Manchester authorities. Businesses that can demonstrate strong price competitiveness, quality assurance, and social value commitments—such as paying the Real Living Wage—are particularly positioned to succeed in this procurement. Up to three suppliers per lot may be selected through this framework, highlighting the competitive nature of the tender process.
