UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured four new footway sweepers for street cleansing. This is a goods requirement for specialist street-cleaning equipment, including cleaning products and related domestic appliances under CPV 39000000. The equipment is intended to support the council’s street-cleansing operations in the United Kingdom, with Derby City Council as the buying organisation. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot and concerns the supply of physical machinery rather than a cleaning service or construction work. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of footway sweepers or comparable municipal street-cleaning equipment. Suppliers serving local authorities and able to provide multiple new machines for operational use would be the closest match to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to KARCHER (U.K.) LIMITED. Derby City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. The award was made on 21 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2027. Its value is £410,000 excluding VAT and £492,000 including VAT. The award is active and covers the single lot for the footway sweepers. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender assessment. The procurement has already reached its award and contract stage, so it is an example of completed purchasing activity rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derby City Council for four new footway sweepers to support street cleansing. Suppliers competing for similar future requirements would need a credible range of new municipal or commercial footway-sweeping machines, together with the capacity to supply several units as one order. Relevant businesses include equipment manufacturers, authorised UK distributors and specialist street-cleaning machinery providers. A strong competitor would be able to show that its products are designed for operational street cleansing and can be supplied to a public-sector buyer in the UK. The selected supplier, KARCHER (U.K.) LIMITED, indicates that established branded equipment businesses with direct supply capability were well placed for this procurement. Experience serving councils or comparable public-service operators would strengthen a supplier’s position.
