The work covers routine planned maintenance and timely repairs, including equipment associated with compressors and other grounds-maintenance machinery. Its purpose is to support safe operation by Council staff, maintain compliance with health and safety requirements, reduce equipment downtime and disruption to services, keep machinery aligned with manufacturer requirements, provide value for money and extend the working life of Council-owned equipment. This is a public-sector equipment maintenance opportunity for suppliers able to support the Council’s environmental maintenance operations in Melton Mowbray. The procurement is categorised as a service and includes grounds-maintenance equipment repair and general repair and maintenance services.

The procurement has reached tender: Melton Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. It comprises one lot. Questions could be submitted until 28 September 2026 at 4:00pm, and offers were due by 6 October 2026 at 12 noon. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029, with a possible renewal at the Council’s sole discretion until 1 November 2031. The estimated value is £103,000 excluding VAT, or £123,600 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. The quality assessment comprises six questions weighted at 20%, 10%, 10%, 10%, 5% and 5%. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits an equipment repair and maintenance provider with practical experience supporting grounds-maintenance machinery, including servicing, fault diagnosis, repairs and planned preventative maintenance.

Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable maintenance processes, competent staff and the operational capacity to manage both scheduled servicing and unplanned repairs. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that the requirement is accessible to organisations beyond large national contractors, provided they can deliver the required technical and service standards.
