PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is buying a tracked aerial platform and trailer as goods for its operations. The requirement covers the supply of the equipment and trailer, with delivery in the Fife area. This is a single equipment requirement rather than a wider works or services contract. The buying organisation is Fife Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. The equipment is classified under CPV 34142100, covering aerial platforms and related lifting equipment. Suppliers should therefore be manufacturers, authorised dealers, specialist plant and access-equipment suppliers, or businesses able to provide a suitable tracked aerial platform together with its trailer. The procurement is intended to meet the council’s need to acquire this equipment, including any additional purchases permitted under the contract terms.

The process reached the tender stage: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with the submission deadline set for 24 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The bid opening was scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 60 days, and renewal is not provided for. There is one lot. The council may make additional purchases that were not specifically detailed in the specification, subject to the applicable Scottish procurement regulations. Variants are not allowed. Selection covers supplier suitability, economic and financial standing, and technical capability; the relevant requirements are set out in the SPD module. Electronic ordering and electronic payment are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits suppliers with direct access to tracked aerial platforms and compatible trailers, whether through manufacture, distribution, dealership or specialist equipment supply. Businesses should be able to demonstrate that they are suitable to contract with the council, meet the required economic and financial standing tests, and provide the technical capability requested in the SPD module. The requirement is focused on supplying a defined item of access equipment rather than delivering a construction, maintenance or operational service, so relevant product knowledge, reliable sourcing and the ability to provide a complete platform-and-trailer package will be important. Suppliers also need the capacity to fulfil the order within the 60-day contract period and to support electronic procurement processes.
