## Summary

The Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council is currently in the Tender stage of its procurement process for the hire of a wheeled excavator with a grab attachment. This contract is set to run for two years, starting on 1st June 2015 and ending on 31st May 2017. The tender was published on 1st April 2015 and has an estimated value of £100,000, with a minimum value of £65,000. The location for delivery is in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and potential suppliers can submit proposals for either a new or a used machine — units less than three years old will be accepted.

This opportunity presents a significant growth avenue for businesses specialising in earthmoving and excavating machinery, particularly those that can supply excavators with grab attachments. Contractors that can provide competitive quotes for both new and used machinery are encouraged to participate. Given the nature of the contract, businesses with a focus on construction equipment rental, as well as suppliers of construction machinery, would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract.

## Notice

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council (BwDBC) is looking to award a two year contract for the hire of a wheeled excavator fitted with a grab attachment. The Council is looking to evaluate two separate quotes, one for a new machine and one for a used machine that is less than three years old. The supplier can quote on either or both. Additional information: https://www.the-chest.org.uk/cms/CMS.nsf/vHomePage/fSection?OpenDocument The Council will only accept tender submissions through the CHEST.
