Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council is conducting a public procurement process for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) aimed at acquiring Ground Maintenance Equipment and related services, with a total estimated value of £3,500,000. This procurement is currently active and is subdivided into multiple Lots, each covering different types of equipment for either purchase or hire. The tender period ends on 10th May 2018, and submissions must be made electronically. The key delivery location is throughout the Highland Council area, and the procurement method follows a restrictive procedure. Interested parties are invited to review the specifics of each Lot, as the DPS will cover equipment needs over both seasonal and longer-term requirements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the grounds maintenance equipment sector, especially those offering services related to the purchase and hire of machinery such as mowers, strimmers, and small plant equipment. Companies specialising in maintenance, repair services, and manufacturing of grounds maintenance tools are particularly well-suited to compete. With a structured approach and clear performance criteria, suppliers have the chance to establish long-term partnerships with the Highland Council, enhancing their visibility and operational capacity in the sector.
