UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gov Facility Services Ltd procured the hire of generators for use in the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as goods and concerns the provision of generator equipment rather than construction, installation or a broader facilities-management service. The procurement covers one requirement for generator hire, with additional services included as an option. This may suit plant-hire companies, equipment-rental businesses and suppliers able to provide generators for operational use by a public-sector facilities organisation. The selected supplier, Sunbelt Rentals Limited, is an SME specialising in equipment rental. Businesses considering similar work for Gov Facility Services Ltd should focus on reliable generator availability, rental administration, delivery arrangements and support for equipment deployed across the UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Sunbelt Rentals Limited was selected for the generator-hire requirement. The award is valued at £28,930.09 excluding VAT, or £34,716.11 including VAT. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 30 September 2027, and the award includes an option for additional services. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 31 July 2026. The procurement used one lot and was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The award value is below the applicable threshold, and the requirement is for generators delivered for use in the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates established demand from Gov Facility Services Ltd for generator hire supplied through a below-threshold direct route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitable generator stock, the ability to manage rental equipment over an extended service period, and dependable delivery and collection arrangements in the United Kingdom. Operational readiness is likely to matter: suppliers should be able to provide equipment when required, support its continued use and handle additional service needs connected with the hire. Sunbelt Rentals Limited’s SME status also indicates that the opportunity can be delivered by an equipment-rental business without the scale of a major national infrastructure contractor. Relevant experience in plant or power-equipment hire would strengthen a supplier’s position.
