Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council hired a JCB 411 front-loading loader fitted with a HiTip bucket and winter specification. This is construction and civil engineering machinery hire, intended for use in Derbyshire. The procurement covers the hire of the specified machine and bucket; the published item classification also identifies machinery for construction and quarrying. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based in Matlock. The work concerns equipment rather than a broader construction project or a package of services, and the recorded delivery location is the East Midlands. The requirement is a single package, focused on a particular loader configuration with winter specification.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Clee Hill Plant Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 22 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £26,172.50 excluding VAT and £31,407 including VAT. There is one lot, covering the specified JCB 411 loader with HiTip bucket and winter specification. The release contains no award date or evaluation criteria, so the outcome can be identified but the basis for selecting this supplier cannot be described. The buyer recorded the contract as active.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future plant-hire requirements, this award indicates demand for a specific front-loading JCB 411 configuration with a HiTip bucket and winter specification, rather than general construction machinery alone. A credible competitor would need to supply or source that equipment and support hire over a defined seasonal period. The contract went to Clee Hill Plant Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, through a direct, below-threshold route without competition. That provides evidence of the buyer’s purchasing route for this requirement, but not of competitive evaluation standards or technical qualifications. Plant-hire businesses with access to suitably specified loaders and the capacity to meet a short-term hire requirement are the closest fit when comparable needs arise.
