## Summary

Sunderland City Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Sunderland, UK, initiated a procurement process for a pre-used tractor to support the Port of Sunderland's cargo operations. The procurement, categorised under the goods industry for used tractors (CPV: 16720000), went through a limited tendering process due to being below threshold, thus resulting in a more focused competitive scope. Initially awarded to G Marshall (Tractors) Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise located in Melrose, the contract was signed on 21 July 2025 for a total gross amount of £43,800, with an active period from 22 July 2025 to 21 August 2025. However, the contract was subsequently terminated on 5 September 2025 due to the supplier selling the tractor to a third party, rendering them unable to fulfil the contract.

This procurement opportunity, while initially promising for G Marshall (Tractors) Ltd, highlights potential growth avenues for businesses seeking to supply essential equipment to public sectors such as ports. Companies specialising in agricultural or heavy machinery, particularly in used equipment, may find similar tenders advantageous, given their typically lower associated costs and niche demand. Such opportunities can provide companies—especially SMEs in the UK, like G Marshall (Tractors) Ltd—a platform to expand their market presence, build public sector relationships, and enhance their credibility as reliable suppliers in government contracts.
