## Summary

The Stafford Borough Council has awarded a contract for Grounds Maintenance Equipment Maintenance to F.R. Sharrock Ltd. The procurement process involved a direct award under the Council's own Internal Procurement Regulations. The contract, valued at £44,953 GBP, will run from 1st November 2023 to 30th June 2024. The buying organization, Staffordshire County Council, oversaw this procurement in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender for Grounds Maintenance Equipment Maintenance presents business growth opportunities for companies specialised in equipment repair and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in plant and equipment maintenance are well-suited to compete. The contract period allows for long-term engagements, fostering stability for the successful bidder within the industry category of grounds-maintenance equipment services.

## Notice

The notice is to direct award for the repair and maintenance of the Stafford Borough Council grounds maintenance equipment to F.R. Sharrock Ltd. The Council have attempted to reprocure the above service via a mini competition framework, with the support of Staffordshire County Council's Procurement Team, however, the attempt was unsuccessful, as it had no response from a suitable supplier. The Council cannot operate a large number of its Streetscene services without an experienced plant and equipment maintenance provider, it is therefore implementing a direct award contract to its incumbent supplier, while it attempts to reprocure a longer-term contract and will be completed via a full procurement process. The procurement process will again be undertaken with the support of Staffordshire County Council's procurement team.
