Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council procured a short-term supply of replacement sweeper brushes for its mechanical road-sweeper vehicles. This is a goods requirement supporting the council’s street-cleaning and road-sweeping operations in Birmingham. The scope concerns brushes and related vehicle equipment rather than the provision of sweeping services or complete road-sweeper vehicles. The procurement covers supply to the council’s operations in Birmingham. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of road-sweeper brushes, vehicle-mounted cleaning equipment, and compatible parts for municipal or commercial mechanical sweepers. Suppliers need to understand the requirements of vehicle fleets used for routine street cleaning and be able to provide products suitable for the council’s mechanical road-sweeper vehicles.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2027. The contract value is £80,750 excluding VAT, or £96,900 including VAT. N A Brown Ltd trading as Roadbrushes was awarded the contract. The quotation exercise had a submission deadline of 12:00 on 18 February 2026, with enquiries closing at 12:00 on 11 February 2026. Evaluation used pass/fail due-diligence questions, followed by 40% quality and 60% price. Quality responses were assessed against weighted questions, while price was based on unit prices and estimated quantities. The contract is active and the award is recorded as active.

This requirement indicates recurring demand from Birmingham City Council for dependable sweeper-brush supply supporting a municipal road-sweeper fleet. Suppliers competing when the requirement next returns would need demonstrable product quality, reliable availability across the contract period, and the ability to fulfil orders accurately and promptly. The stated performance expectations are demanding: at least 98% of orders should be delivered on time or early and in full, while the standard target for brushes failing quality control checks is below 1%. Businesses well placed to compete would therefore include specialist brush manufacturers and distributors with robust stock management, quality assurance, order processing and delivery arrangements. Evidence of compatible products, consistent manufacturing standards and dependable service performance would strengthen a future submission, alongside competitive unit pricing.
