## Summary

Durham County Council has awarded a contract to GT Cleaning Machines Limited for the maintenance and repair of Tennant floor cleaning machines as part of their efforts to ensure operational efficiency across their various service sectors, including culture, sport, facilities management, and cleaning services. The procurement process was concluded with a direct award method, recognising GT Cleaning Machines Limited as an approved Sales and Service Authorised Partner. The contract is active from 1st May 2026 to 28th February 2028, with an optional extension of 24 months dependent on the continual use of existing Tennant machines. Located in Durham, UKC14 region, this service category award, with a gross value of £300,000, highlights the growing emphasis on maintaining high cleaning standards through reliable equipment across the council's sites.

The direct award contract with GT Cleaning Machines Limited is particularly significant for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, as it presents opportunities for collaborations and sub-contracting. The significance of obtaining such a contract lies in the potential growth trajectory driven by the continuous demand for equipment maintenance in alignment with industry standards.
