## Summary

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council hired plant, machinery, tools and associated equipment to support its day-to-day operations. The requirement covers both operated and non-operated hire, including construction and excavation plant, traffic management equipment, cabins, drainage equipment and tools. Transport and highway operation services are also within the stated procurement categories. Delivery is associated with Rotherham, with the address given as Riverside House, Main Street, Rotherham. This is a plant and equipment hire service for a local authority, relevant to rental businesses able to supply and support a broad range of equipment for council operations.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. The council selected 18 suppliers: Arriving Ltd, Banner Plant Ltd, Champion Hire, Chippindale Plant Ltd, Clee Hill Plant Ltd, CSL Traffic Management Equipment Hire Limited, Dawsongroup, Flannery Plant Hire, Galebest Limited, GAP Group Limited, Hall Plant Hire Limited, Hather Plant Hire, R Burkinshaw & Sons Ltd, Sheffield Surfacing Ltd, SR Hird Plant Ltd, Sunbelt Rentals Limited, Ward Plane Limited and Wernick Hire Limited. The award value is £18 million. The award date was 10 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 24 March 2025. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate.

For plant-hire businesses, this award demonstrates demand from Rotherham Council for a wide-ranging fleet, covering operated and non-operated equipment rather than a single plant type. The selected supplier group includes specialist traffic-management, surfacing, cabin and general plant-hire businesses, as well as larger equipment rental companies. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to supply equipment across relevant categories, including construction and excavation machinery, tools and traffic-management equipment, and support the council’s routine operational needs. The breadth of suppliers selected indicates that businesses with a focused equipment specialism may be relevant alongside providers with wider fleets. Small and medium-sized businesses were identified as suitable, so the opportunity is not limited to large providers.
