## Summary

The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company, a private utility based in the UK, recently completed a direct award procurement process to acquire an electric reachstacker with a 60-tonne lifting capacity. Due to the unique requirements of this machinery, competitive tendering was deemed unsuccessful, prompting the company to work directly with Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., the supplier capable of meeting these specifications. The contract, awarded on 6th November 2025, has a contract period beginning 1st December 2025, and will run until 31st July 2026, with the option for extension due to the equipment's complexity. This process falls under the electrical machinery industry category, with the final delivery set in the UKH14 region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced industrial machinery, particularly those developing innovative electric equipment. Companies with expertise in engineering and producing heavy-lifting equipment stand to benefit by aligning their offerings to the high specifications required by entities such as The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company. Furthermore, businesses capable of adjusting to the bespoke nature and timescales of such developments are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, offering long-term collaborations and technological innovations that meet the growing needs for sustainable and efficient solutions in the logistics and infrastructure sectors.

## Notice

The purchase of one (1) electric reachstacker. Lifting capacity of 60t first row/45t second row. Sliding cabin. Support jacks (outriggers). Mechanical pile slope.

### Procurement Information

The competitive tendering procedure was unsuccessful at conditions of participation round when it became clear that this type of machinery was not readily available in the market. One supplier provided sufficient evidence that they can technically provide the specification we require at the conditions of participation for us to proceed. We will be working with the direct manufacturer.
