The contract focuses on goods related to Buckets, shovels, grabs, and grips for cranes or excavators, under CPV classification 42420000. The procurement followed an open method and was conducted below threshold with open competition. The contract period spans from 13 October 2025 to 28 February 2026, with NCD Equipment Ltd as the awarded supplier. The contract, valued at £14,965 for the net amount, was signed on 13 October 2025, indicating the transition from the tender stage to the award stage.

The procurement process highlights the importance of understanding sector-specific needs and direct engagement with central government authorities, thus benefiting businesses that are agile and capable of delivering precise engineering solutions. Proper submission of quotations and adherence to deadlines are crucial for potential bidders, enabling them to establish a foothold in government contracts and expand their market reach.
