Summary of the contracting process

The Stoke on Trent City Council initiated a procurement process for the outright purchase of one EC27D Volvo Mini-Digger, classified under earthmoving and excavating machinery. The process has progressed to the award stage and is complete, with the contract awarded to S M Plant Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Rugby. The goods will be supplied across multiple regions within the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The contract, valued at £49,000 excluding VAT, was signed on 17 December 2025, and is scheduled from 31 December 2025 to 28 February 2027. The procurement was conducted using a below-threshold, unknown method, adhering to UKPGA's legal framework.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in construction machinery, particularly those capable of manufacturing or selling mini-diggers or similar equipment. Suppliers with experience in earthmoving machinery and a keen understanding of delivering high-performance equipment to government bodies would find this opportunity particularly valuable. Being successful in such tenders could enhance a company's credentials and open doors to further public sector contracts, fostering business expansion and reinforcing market presence.
