Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level in the UK, has completed a direct procurement tender for the "Palfinger Maintenance and Service" project. This procurement involves the maintenance, repair, and service systems for a fleet of 14 Hookloader Hook and Netting Sheeting Systems, classified under transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation and repair and maintenance services. The contract has been awarded to T. H. WHITE LIMITED / TA Palfinger UK, based in Wiltshire, and is valued at £96,000. The contract period runs from 13th October 2025 to 12th October 2028, with the contract signed on 7th October 2025. The procurement process was conducted below threshold without competition, indicating a streamlined approach to contracting.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in service maintenance and repair within the transportation equipment industry. With a focus on transport equipment and auxiliary products, companies specialising in such maintenance services would find this contract a strategic addition, particularly those capable of operating below competition thresholds. The involvement of a large-scale supplier like T. H. WHITE LIMITED highlights the scope and scale of service required, suggesting that businesses with substantial expertise and resources in transportation equipment maintenance, as well as the ability to deliver over a multi-year period, would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future.
