## Summary

Southampton City Council procured repair and maintenance services for its forklifts. The requirement covers servicing and repairs of forklift trucks and related equipment, supporting the council’s operational fleet. Delivery is associated with Southampton, with the work location identified by the council’s Southampton postcode. This is a vehicle and equipment maintenance services contract, rather than a purchase of new forklifts. The procurement is relevant to suppliers able to maintain and repair forklift trucks for a local authority. The selected supplier, Andover Fork Truck Services Limited, is a small business, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Andover Fork Truck Services Limited on 11 October 2024. The awarded contract value is £100,000. The contract period runs from 1 November 2024 to 1 November 2028. Southampton City Council used a competitive quotation process below the procurement threshold, with a limited procurement method. The original submission deadline was 1 October 2024 at noon. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement data does not set out specific evaluation criteria beyond the competitive quotation approach. One supplier is named as the award recipient.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Southampton City Council, this award demonstrates recurring demand for forklift repair and maintenance over a multi-year service period. A credible competitor would need practical capability to diagnose faults, carry out repairs and maintain forklift trucks and related equipment used by the council. The selected provider was an SME, so the requirement has been achievable by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large national contractor. Relevant experience supporting operational fleets and the ability to provide dependable maintenance and repair services would therefore be commercially pertinent. This is a focused opportunity for forklift service firms, not a general vehicle maintenance contract. The award provides evidence of the council’s purchasing route: a competitive quotation exercise for a below-threshold requirement.
