UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council has completed a procurement process for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of a 25-tonne heavy-duty 4-post vehicle ramp. This contract, carried through a limited procurement method as detailed under UKPGA 2023/54, focuses on the installation and weight testing of the ramp at the workshop in Prince Rock. The tender process, initiated for goods classified under the CPV code 34950000 (Loadbearing equipment), reached completion following the contract signing on 22nd September 2025, with the start date scheduled for 29th November 2025, extending until 28th November 2028, with a maximum possible extension to 28th November 2030. Stertil UK Ltd., a small to medium-sized enterprise located in Northampton, emerged as the successful supplier for this contract, valued at £65,574 (excluding VAT) and offering an initial three-year warranty with an option for annual renewal for an additional two years. This project falls under the public authority category for sub-central government, primarily affecting several UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This procurement offers vital opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying heavy-duty vehicle ramps and similar loadbearing equipment across the United Kingdom. Companies adept in creating durable, large-scale loadbearing systems with an emphasis on public sector compliance can consider this as a gateway to enhance their market presence within public infrastructure projects. Businesses with experience in providing comprehensive warranty services and possessing the agility to engage in limited scope, below-threshold competitions will be particularly well-positioned to engage in future tenders similar to this. The broad geographical application also enhances the visibility and reach of the supplier, allowing for significant business growth potential by establishing strong references through successful public sector collaborations.
