Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Salford City Council acquiring one small and one large tractor as part of the Turnpike Depot fleet management and replacement programme for the 25/26 Operational Division Service. This tender falls under the "goods" category and uses a direct procurement method below the threshold—without competition. The process is completed with the award given to CORNTHWAITE AGRICULTURAL LIMITED. The contract, signed on 28th May 2025, spans from 1st June to 30th June 2025, with a gross amount of £127,750. The tractors are to be delivered across several regions in the United Kingdom, including Manchester (UKD3, UKD4, UKD6, UKD7, UKE, UKF).

This tender represents a valuable growth opportunity for suppliers of tractors and related agricultural goods. Businesses similar to CORNTHWAITE AGRICULTURAL LIMITED, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), could benefit from actively engaging in such procurement opportunities, especially given the increasing demand for fleet replacement programmes by local governments. Firms with expertise in agricultural vehicle supply and robust delivery capabilities would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders in the future, potentially expanding their market reach within public authorities in the UK.
