Summary of the contracting process

The Wheatley Housing Group Limited procured a full-catalogue supply and management service for grounds maintenance machinery and equipment. The equipment supports its neighbourhood environmental teams, specialist improvement teams and arborists, who maintain clean, green and safe neighbourhoods and communal areas. The requirement is for a single supplier to provide the group’s equipment needs across all the regions in which it operates, with delivery across Scotland. This is a goods-led procurement covering grounds maintenance equipment and machinery (CPV 43325100).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to FRASER C ROBB LIMITED. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active, with a stated value of £2,800,000. The contract period is 720 days, with two possible 12-month renewal periods. The competition used an open procedure, with a two-stage process including price and quality evaluation followed by a post-tender negotiation. Quality carried 70% of the evaluation and price 30%. The submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 12:00. Four bids were received, all from small or medium-sized enterprises. The procurement was arranged as one lot, and variants were not allowed.

This award shows demand for a supplier able to provide a broad range of grounds maintenance machinery and equipment as a single-source service across Wheatley Group’s operating areas. Credible competitors will need to combine equipment supply with the capacity to manage and maintain the machinery, supporting neighbourhood environmental teams, specialist improvement teams and arborists. The buyer’s stated evaluation gave greater weight to quality than price, so suppliers should be prepared to evidence service quality alongside competitive pricing. Performance is governed by service-level agreements and key performance indicators, with community benefits also forming part of the requirement. The four bids received were from SMEs, indicating that the requirement attracted smaller suppliers as well as other market participants.
