Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council is currently in the tender stage of its procurement process for establishing a "Framework for the Hire of Plant and Machinery." This initiative falls under the services category, primarily aimed at hiring construction, civil engineering, industrial, and agricultural machinery, which will be essential for the council's operational duties across Pembrokeshire, UK (region UKL14). The procurement follows an open procedure, allowing electronic submissions in English and Welsh, with the framework agreement being set without the reopening of competition. The tender deadline is set for 9th February 2026, and the final award decisions will be made by 2nd March 2026. Pembrokeshire County Council plans to introduce several lots, including those requiring operators, and envisions the contract to commence on 1st April 2026, lasting until 31st March 2030.

This tender offers robust opportunities for businesses specialising in machinery hire—including SMEs and VCSEs—as they can either bid for individual lots or multiple lots, with no restrictions on the number of suppliers per lot. Given the substantial value of the contract, estimated at £9,600,000 gross, companies engaged in the production, leasing, or operation of plant and machinery—particularly those equipped to operate within the UKL14 region—stand to benefit significantly. The council encourages participation from diverse contractors to enhance service area operations, making this a lucrative opportunity for companies looking to expand their reach within public sector procurement.
