## Summary

The procurement process led by Cumberland Council has progressed to the award stage, focusing on the hiring of 12 gritters, with an associated value of £90,300. The priority industry category pertains to winter-maintenance vehicles, with delivery to take place in the region of Carlisle, Cumbria in the United Kingdom. This process, governed by legal basis 2023/54, began with a contract active from 1st October 2025 until 19th November 2025 and required a direct procurement method due to its "below threshold - without competition" status. The awarded supplier, Riverside Truck Rental Limited, is located in Skelmersdale and was involved in delivering the required goods and services within the stated timeline.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for larger businesses specialising in winter-maintenance and road-maintenance vehicles to engage with public authority contracts, particularly those interested in providing essential services for infrastructure upkeep during colder months. The nature of the contract aligns well with companies that have a proven track record in vehicle rental and maintenance, offering significant growth potential given the repeated seasonal demand for such vehicles. Businesses with the capability to supply and maintain gritter vehicles, along with providing necessary training and familiarisation to end users, would find this market particularly rewarding, highlighting the potential for repeat business and the strengthening of ties with municipal clients like Cumberland Council.

## Notice

The council are looking to hire up to 12 gritters including planned maintenance for a maximum of 7 weeks. Starting from 1st October 2025 - 19th November 2025. Gritters will need to be delivered during the month of September so training can be provided by the supplier to the drivers and the workshop mechanics can have some familiarisation training for any initial defects
