UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council procured a robot GPS line marker, classified as agricultural machinery. The requirement is for the supply of equipment rather than a construction, maintenance or consultancy service. The buying organisation is Plymouth City Council, a local authority based in Plymouth. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The equipment is intended for use in the council’s operational activities where accurate, automated line marking is required. The procurement was arranged as one requirement, rather than separate publicly described lots, and concerns the provision of a complete robot GPS line-marking solution.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. ORIGIN AMENITY SOLUTIONS LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £32,750 excluding VAT, or £39,300 including VAT. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, with the opportunity restricted to invited suppliers. The tender comprised one completed lot. The published information identifies the requirement and outcome, but does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting. The contract is recorded as active and the award remains active.

This procurement demonstrates a local authority requirement for specialist automated line-marking equipment using GPS technology, with delivery across England. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be equipment manufacturers, specialist grounds or sports-turf machinery businesses, and distributors able to provide a complete robot line-marking solution. Credibility would come from proven capability in GPS-guided agricultural or amenity machinery, reliable supply and support arrangements, and experience delivering equipment for public-sector or operational users. A competing supplier would also need to understand the practical requirements of accurate line marking and be able to serve a geographically broad customer base. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of specialist supply can suit a focused smaller business.
