Summary of the contracting process

Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh bought a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) for use at its regional Logan Botanic Garden. The equipment is intended for work at the garden in Port Logan, near Stranraer, supporting activities that require workers to operate at height. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or construction contract. The relevant supply area is mobile access and powered lifting equipment, including the provision of a suitable MEWP for use in a botanic garden environment. The buying organisation is Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, based in Edinburgh, and the delivery and operational location is Logan Botanic Garden at Port Logan, Stranraer. The requirement covered one item and one procurement lot.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. It covered one lot, for which one bid was received; the bid was electronic and came from an SME. Lloyd Ltd was selected as supplier. The resulting contract is active, was signed on 16 September 2026, and is valued at £61,000. The tender was marked complete and the lot was also complete. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome information records one awarded supplier and one contract for the MEWP requirement. The procurement route and outcome indicate a straightforward competition for a single item of equipment rather than a multi-lot supply arrangement or an ongoing service framework.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to supply mobile elevated work platforms suitable for operational use in a botanic garden and support delivery to a remote regional garden location. Relevant businesses are likely to be equipment manufacturers, authorised distributors, plant and access-equipment suppliers, or firms able to provide a compliant machine through an established supply chain. The successful route was an open competition for a single goods requirement, with an SME submitting the bid, so smaller specialist suppliers can be relevant competitors. Businesses should be able to demonstrate that the proposed MEWP is fit for the required access work, can be delivered to Logan Botanic Garden, and is supported by reliable product, logistics and after-sales arrangements.
