UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council procured a compact tractor and trailer as a goods purchase. The requirement covers the supply of a tractor together with a compatible trailer for the council’s operational needs. Delivery was specified across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Plymouth City Council, a sub-central public authority based in Plymouth. The procurement was focused on equipment rather than construction or a service contract, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, authorised dealers, agricultural and grounds-maintenance equipment suppliers, and distributors able to provide both compact tractors and trailers as a combined requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Vincent Tractors Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £24,584 excluding VAT, or £29,500 including VAT. The contract is active. The awarded goods are classified as tractors and trailers, and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The published procurement data does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring criteria, so the confirmed outcome is the selection of Vincent Tractors Limited through the limited competition route.

This award indicates a requirement for suppliers able to provide a compact tractor and trailer together, rather than only one item in isolation. Businesses well placed for similar work would have access to suitable compact agricultural, grounds-maintenance or municipal equipment, with the technical knowledge to match a tractor and trailer for operational use. A credible competitor would also need reliable supply arrangements, the capacity to serve a public-sector customer across England, and the ability to manage delivery of equipment as a complete package. Tractor dealerships, manufacturers, equipment distributors and specialist machinery suppliers can use this procurement as evidence of the council’s demand for this type of combined equipment.
