UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority and Civil Nuclear Constabulary are buying one electric forklift truck for delivery and installation in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers the complete supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and maintenance of the vehicle, rather than supply alone. It is a goods contract for a forklift truck, intended for use in the buyer’s operations. The supplier will be responsible for bringing the truck into service and providing maintenance support. This suits manufacturers, authorised distributors, materials-handling equipment suppliers and maintenance providers able to deliver an electric forklift and support it through installation, commissioning and ongoing servicing. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot purchase.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 17 September 2026 at 16:00, and offers were due by 1 October 2026 at 16:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract period is 21 October 2026 to 20 October 2028. Its estimated value is £60,000 excluding VAT, or £72,000 including VAT. The buyer will assess quality at 60%, social value at 10% and price at 30%, so technical and service quality carry twice the weighting of price. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The deadline was extended to 1 October 2026.

This opportunity suits suppliers with the capability to provide an electric forklift truck and manage the full delivery lifecycle: transport to the United Kingdom, installation, commissioning and maintenance. Strong candidates are likely to be forklift manufacturers, equipment distributors, specialist materials-handling companies, or maintenance providers with suitable engineering and service arrangements. The requirement also suits smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, allowing those organisations to compete where they can meet the operational and support requirements. Quality is the main evaluation consideration, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a dependable vehicle, competent installation and commissioning, and an effective maintenance service. Social value is also assessed, giving relevant community or wider social commitments a role in the competition.
