Summary of the contracting process

South Holland District Council procured a road-sweeping vehicle for use on roads and footpaths. The purchase is for a complete vehicle rather than a separate cleaning service, and falls within the road-sweeper equipment category (CPV 34921100). The buying organisation is the council, based in Spalding, and the vehicle is intended for delivery and use within the council’s area in England. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses that manufacture, supply or distribute road-sweeping vehicles suitable for maintaining public highways and pedestrian routes. It may also be relevant to specialist vehicle dealers or equipment suppliers able to provide a road sweeper meeting a local authority’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure. It had one completed lot. South Holland District Council awarded the contract to Scarab Sweepers Limited. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 20 August 2026 to 10 September 2026. Its value is £89,538 excluding VAT, or £107,446 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the purchase as goods, with the requirement evaluated through the procurement route recorded as below threshold. The award covers the road-sweeping vehicle for the council’s road and footpath operations. No separate award values or additional lots apply to this procurement.

This procurement demonstrates a local authority requirement for a dedicated road-sweeping vehicle serving both roads and footpaths, with a contract lasting for a short operational period. Competitors preparing for similar requirements should be able to supply a complete road sweeper, understand the practical needs of highway and pedestrian-route maintenance, and support delivery to a council operating in the South Holland area. The successful supplier was Scarab Sweepers Limited, an SME specialising in this type of equipment, indicating that a specialist vehicle manufacturer or focused supplier can satisfy the requirement rather than only a large general contractor. Relevant businesses should be prepared to explain vehicle capability, suitability for public-sector use, delivery arrangements and after-sales support.
