Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council procured two 5-tonne compact road sweepers as a goods purchase for its road-cleaning operations. The requirement was a call-off from the NEPO 224 framework and covered the supply of heavy-duty motor vehicles. The council is based in Saffron Walden, Essex. The selected supplier, Aebi Schmidt, is a large vehicle and equipment business based in Peterborough. The procurement was handled by Uttlesford District Council, a local authority. The requirement was structured as a single lot covering both sweepers. The vehicles were intended for delivery within the council’s operating area, identified in the procurement records as the East of England. This is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist suppliers of compact road-sweeping vehicles.

The procurement has completed and a supplier was selected. The contract was awarded to Aebi Schmidt, with one bid recorded for the requirement. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 for £215,582. The purchase was made through the NEPO 224 framework using a limited call-off procedure without a prior competition notice. The stated rationale was that the procurement was a framework call-off. The award decision was based on price. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement record marks its single lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the award outcome therefore identifies Aebi Schmidt as the selected supplier and the signed contract as the operative commercial result.

This procurement shows established demand from Uttlesford District Council for compact road sweepers in the 5-tonne class, bought through a recognised local-authority framework. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to provide road-sweeping vehicles that meet the required compact format and payload, together with dependable delivery and manufacturer or distributor support. The route to market indicates that framework access, or a relationship with an organisation already appointed to the relevant framework, is commercially important. Because price was the award basis, a credible competitor would also need competitive whole-life pricing and a clear, compliant specification. The selected supplier’s scale indicates that the council accepted a larger, established vehicle provider for this requirement.
