Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has completed a procurement process titled "Mini Competition under Scotland Excel Framework for the Supply and Delivery of Grounds and Plant Equipment 1522, Lot 1 – Handheld Equipment," categorised under public services, education, and recreation, culture, and religion. This procurement was conducted through a restricted procedure and is focused on the procurement of goods. The contract was finalised on 22nd December 2025, with the awarded supplier being Fraser C. Robb Limited for a value of £59,293. It was a selective call-off contract conducted as a mini-competition under the Scotland Excel Framework, taking place in the UKM95 region, particularly serving Hamilton, UK. The tender involved delivery of various handheld equipment, highlighting a significant step in the procurement cycle from tender to award stage. Notably, bids were submitted electronically, with considerations given to both the price and quality aspects of the proposed solutions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses particularly in the grounds services and equipment supply industries. Small to medium-sized enterprises, like Fraser C. Robb Limited, are especially well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, with a focus on supplying handheld equipment. With the framework's reliance on price and quality assessments, businesses that can demonstrate a high standard in both areas stand to gain from future tenders and contracts. Additionally, subcontracting opportunities are present, as indicated by Fraser C. Robb Limited subcontracting 20% of the contract, offering potential for partnership or engagement with third-party service providers, such as Garden Machinery Services. This reflects an opportunity to leverage expertise and expand business growth within this sector.
