UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured agricultural machinery for its operations. The purchase comprised a new Koeppl Compact ComfortCCE Power Unit with battery, charger and required couplings, together with a Koeppl MTL75 Power Harrow Attachment, Koeppl KFS80 Tiller Attachment and Koeppl SMK80 Pro Flail Attachment. This is a goods requirement focused on supplying a complete, compatible equipment package rather than delivering construction or consultancy services. The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, based in Exeter. The equipment is associated with the university’s operational requirements, with the procurement managed by the university as the public-sector buyer. The requirement demonstrates demand for specialist agricultural machinery and attachments from a supplier able to provide the specified Koeppl equipment and associated power, charging and connection components as one coordinated supply.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to DGM Limited. The award was made on 15 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2027. Its value is £36,835 excluding VAT and £44,202 including VAT. The successful supplier is DGM Limited. The award covers the agricultural machinery package described above, including the power unit, battery, charger, couplings, power harrow, tiller and flail attachments. The contract is active, while the tender status is complete. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender process.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined requirement for specialist agricultural machinery supplied as a compatible package to the University of Exeter. A credible future competitor would need access to Koeppl equipment, or an authorised and dependable route to source the specified power unit and attachments, including the battery, charger and couplings. It would also need the product knowledge to confirm compatibility across the Compact ComfortCCE unit, MTL75 power harrow, KFS80 tiller and SMK80 Pro flail attachment. Reliable fulfilment, accurate specification matching and the ability to supply several connected items together would be important. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this scale of specialist machinery supply can be handled by a focused equipment business rather than only by a large national contractor.
