Summary of the contracting process

Stoke on Trent City Council procured the supply and fitting of one new tractor-mounted rear flail, specifically a McConnel PA6582T long-reach hedgecutter for a VALTRA N155A tractor. The equipment is for left-hand cutting and includes Revolution controls, an EDS bracket-mounted frame, a 1.5-metre DD Multicut flail head with F10H flails, axle brackets, a 6.6-metre reach, debris blower, skid kit and oil-filled components. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the underlying product classification covering tractors. Delivery is in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is a complete equipment supply-and-fitting package rather than a standalone consultancy or general grounds-maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold tender route. One award was made to F.R. Sharrock Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. Its value is £41,500 excluding VAT, or £49,800 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for the tractor-mounted hedgecutter and associated fitting. The published evaluation basis is not expressed in the available procurement information, so the commercial outcome is the key recorded process detail: Stoke on Trent City Council selected F.R. Sharrock Limited and the award remains active. This is a completed procurement, rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This award indicates demand from Stoke on Trent City Council for specialist agricultural and grounds-maintenance machinery, including a long-reach flail hedgecutter configured for a specified Valtra tractor. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need to source or manufacture compatible tractor-mounted cutting equipment, understand attachment and axle-bracket requirements, and provide installation or fitting as part of the supply package. Technical capability should cover long-reach operation, flail-head configuration, debris management, skid protection and hydraulic or control integration where required. Credible competitors are likely to be equipment dealers, manufacturers or specialist machinery integrators able to deliver the complete specification and support the council with reliable fitting and product knowledge.
