Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council procured the supply, delivery and installation of four aeration blowers for its Leachate Treatment Plant in Plymouth. The blowers form part of an upgrade to the plant’s aeration system, which supports the biological treatment of leachate. The upgrade is intended to improve operational reliability and efficiency, and replace existing blowers with quieter units to reduce noise for residents in the adjacent housing development. This is a combined equipment and installation requirement, classified as goods with associated services. The work is site-specific to the Council’s treatment plant in Plymouth.

The procurement is complete and awarded to AERZEN MACHINES LIMITED. The award was made on 24 March 2026 for £243,242.72 excluding VAT (£291,891.26 including VAT). The signed contract is active, runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, and has the same value. The competitive flexible procedure had three stages: participation conditions, tender award criteria and a preferred-supplier stage; up to three compliant bidders could progress to the tender stage. Two bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Quality covered delivery timeframes, contract delivery, maintenance, collaboration and subcontracting, climate and social value. The initial participation stage included pass/fail and scored questions.

For suppliers of industrial aeration equipment, this award shows Plymouth City Council’s demand for a package combining blower supply, delivery and installation at a leachate-treatment facility. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that their equipment can support biological leachate treatment while improving operational reliability and efficiency, and can meet noise-reduction needs near housing. The evaluated offer placed greatest emphasis on contract delivery, with delivery timeframes and maintenance also scored, alongside collaboration, subcontracting, climate and social value. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to evidence dependable installation and delivery planning, ongoing maintenance capability and effective working with partners or subcontractors. The award establishes the relevant scale as a multi-unit equipment and installation project rather than a single-product supply.
