UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council purchased three mini excavators through the NEPO214 framework. The goods are compact excavators for machinery and equipment work, with delivery to Northumberland. Scot JCB mini excavators are named in the procurement description, and the equipment category is agricultural machinery. The contract is for the supply of machines rather than construction or excavation services. The buying organisation is Northumberland County Council, based in Morpeth, and delivery is in Northumberland.

The procurement is complete and awarded, and the contract is active. Northumberland County Council selected Scot JCB Limited under a selective route, making an award through the NEPO214 framework without a competition for this call-off. The award was made on 23 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 1 July 2027. Its value is £80,850 excluding VAT and £97,020 including VAT. The procurement was organised as one lot, covering the purchase of three mini excavators. No separate evaluation criteria are stated for this framework award.

This purchase demonstrates demand from Northumberland County Council for a small fleet of mini excavators procured through the NEPO214 framework. Suppliers competing for similar requirements need to be able to supply three machines as a single requirement and meet the council’s delivery needs in Northumberland. Scot JCB Limited was selected, showing that an equipment supplier able to provide Scot JCB mini excavators was acceptable for this purchase. Credible competitors should therefore be able to supply comparable compact excavation machinery and fulfil a multi-unit order through the relevant framework route. The procurement concerns goods, not an ongoing excavation service, so the relevant capability is supplying machinery rather than providing a construction workforce.
