## Summary

The Environment Agency procured telehandlers for the Defra Group. These are agricultural machinery used across the Group’s operational requirements. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Europe, British Overseas Territories and locations elsewhere in the world. The procurement is categorised as goods and concerns the supply of telehandlers rather than associated construction, maintenance or consultancy services. The buying organisation is the Environment Agency, based in London. The selected supplier, B&B Group, is based in Nottinghamshire. The broad delivery geography means that relevant businesses would need to support requirements across the UK and potentially international locations, depending on the operational needs of the Defra Group.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded to B&B Group on 29 July 2026. The award value is £8,060,100. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2030. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 6 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract covers the overall telehandler requirement and was awarded as a single supplier award. The award is active, and the contract period began shortly after the award decision. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for telehandlers within the Defra Group and shows that the requirement was fulfilled through a framework call-off. Businesses targeting similar work would need to supply agricultural machinery suitable for operational use and be able to support a geographically broad customer requirement spanning the UK and overseas territories. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so credible competitors would generally need the scale, financial capacity, stock access, logistics and account-management capability associated with a larger established supplier. Experience of supplying telehandlers to public-sector or similarly distributed operational customers, together with the ability to deliver consistently across multiple locations, would strengthen a future offer.
