## Summary

The Borough Council of Bolton is seeking tenders for the purchase and supply of a telescopic wheeled loader, with a total budget of £80,000. This procurement falls under the category of specialist vehicles and is in the Award stage. The contract period commenced on 12 January 2018 and will conclude on 4 April 2018. Tenders for this opportunity closed on 11 December 2017, and the procurement was conducted via an open procedure. The project is managed by the Fleet Management Environmental Services located at the Mayor Street Depot in Bolton, England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in heavy machinery and equipment supply. Companies that manufacture or supply telescopic wheeled loaders, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are particularly well-suited to compete. The need for a new loader arises from the Council's recent fleet upgrades, and the selected supplier will provide a vital asset for daily depot operations and winter maintenance tasks, creating a potentially lucrative partnership with the local council.

## Notice

The Borough Council of Bolton ("the Authority") is prepared to receive tenders for Purchase & Supply of a Telescopic Wheeled Loader which will be subject to the information, specification and tender package enclosed. The Authority's Fleet Management Environmental Services, based at Mayor Street Depot, currently hire a JCB 3cx. Its function includes, but is not limited to, assisting in the day to day running of the depot functions; loading material on to vehicles, muck shifting and unloading / loading delivers. This machine is also used out of hours in the winter to load the Authority's salt hopper and gritters. The Authority now has in place a new fleet of gritters which are much higher than our old fleet, meaning the current JCB 3cx is not able to lift to a safe height to load the gritters. The existing machine also has no lifting safety devices, therefore should a pipe burst during the loading operations, the bucket / arm would fall to the floor or onto a vehicle. With this in mind, The Authority seeks to purchase a new machine that is capable of lifting to the required height with load check valves, whilst owning our own asset.
