## Summary

The City of Sunderland has completed a public procurement process for the contract titled "Port Material Handler Slewing Ring." This project falls under the industry category of loading or handling machinery and was based in the North East of England. The tender was awarded on 24 July 2018, following a direct award procedure due to the technical requirements that only allow Liebherr Great Britain Limited to supply and install this bespoke component. The total contract value was £42,500, with the contract period running from 25 July 2018 to 24 August 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and installation of specialised machinery components, particularly those aligned with the operational needs of ports and heavy machinery. Companies with expertise in loading handling solutions or those who can provide related technical services may find this procurement process especially relevant for future collaborations or similar projects.
