Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council bought a new vehicle wash bay ramp/hoist, including its supply, installation and commissioning. The equipment is for the Council’s Community and Enterprise Resources, Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services. It replaces an existing wash bay that is beyond economical repair and supports effective cleaning of fleet vehicle undercarriages before MOT testing. This is a goods requirement for a specialist vehicle-washing and workshop-equipment supplier, rather than general vehicle maintenance or cleaning services. The procurement relates to public-sector fleet operations and the equipment must be suitable for repeated use in preparing fleet vehicles for statutory testing. The buyer is a local authority and central purchasing body. The requirement was treated as a single lot and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. South Lanarkshire Council used an open procedure, with tenders evaluated on the most economically advantageous price/quality basis: price carried 80% and technical quality 20%. The successful bidder was Stertil UK Ltd. One bid was received, submitted electronically by an SME. The contract value is £61,915 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The tender route involved qualification, technical and commercial response stages. Bidders also had to select community benefits from the Council’s menu and achieve at least 40 points. The award covers the complete supply, installation and commissioning requirement, with no options recorded.

This award shows demand for robust workshop equipment that can lift or support fleet vehicles while their undercarriages are washed, together with the ability to install and commission it for operational use. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supplying vehicle wash bay ramps, hoists or comparable heavy-duty fleet-service equipment, and the technical capability to integrate, test and hand over the installation. The buyer’s evaluation placed greater emphasis on commercial value than technical quality, so suppliers would need competitive pricing alongside a clear, technically sound response. The requirement also demonstrates that community-benefit commitments form part of participation: a supplier should be able to offer measurable local or social value proposals that meet the Council’s minimum scoring requirement. Experience serving council or fleet operators would strengthen credibility.
