Summary of the contracting process

NY Highways, a public undertaking associated with North Yorkshire Council, procured a multi-supplier framework for non-operated plant hire services supporting highways maintenance across North Yorkshire. The requirement covered five areas of work: plant hire; small tools and equipment; welfare units; telehandlers; and servicing, repair, maintenance and calibration of NYH-owned plant and equipment. Suppliers were expected to provide modern, safe and compliant equipment with the required certification, alongside delivery, planned hire, breakdown support, replacement equipment and 24/7 emergency response. The work is relevant to equipment-hire businesses, plant and tool suppliers, welfare-unit providers, telehandler specialists, and firms providing inspection, servicing, repair, maintenance or calibration for construction and highways equipment.

The procurement is complete and awards were made on 23 July 2026 through an open procedure. It used a closed multi-supplier framework with call-offs by direct award. The tender had five lots, and suppliers could bid for and be awarded up to four lots. Each lot was evaluated on quality alone, weighted at 100%. Awards were made separately: Plant was awarded £850,091.63 net (£1,020,109.96 gross) to Skipton Hire Centre, GAP Group and Sunbelt Rentals; Tools, £1,100,716.53 net (£1,320,859.83 gross), to the same three suppliers; Telehandlers, £829,469 net (£995,362.80 gross), to Skipton Hire Centre and GAP Group; Welfare Units, £108,812.12 net (£130,574.54 gross), to four suppliers including Addplant; and NYH-owned equipment servicing and maintenance, £80,126.70 net (£96,152.04 gross), to Skipton Hire Centre. The contract periods run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with extensions available to 30 September 2030.

This award shows sustained demand from NY Highways for dependable equipment hire and asset support across a broad highways-maintenance operation. A credible future competitor would need a modern, compliant and well-maintained equipment fleet, reliable delivery and replacement arrangements, and the capacity to provide planned services alongside rapid breakdown response at any time. Plant, tools, welfare units and telehandlers are distinct supply opportunities, while the maintenance lot requires technical capability in servicing, repair, inspection and calibration of customer-owned equipment. The buyer’s quality-only evaluation indicates that operational assurance, safety, certification, service responsiveness and evidence of effective delivery will be central to competing. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for every lot, and the multi-supplier structure shows that specialist providers can compete for selected areas rather than needing to cover the entire requirement.
