The procurement, titled "Contract for the Purchase of Mobile Scaffolding," falls under the goods category, with a significant focus on improving operational efficiency and reducing time, labour, and costs associated with traditional fixed scaffolding. The council aims to implement these mobile systems across their housing and property portfolio for short-duration maintenance tasks.

The contract period is anticipated to begin on 16th February 2026 and end on 15th February 2029, with delivery targeted within the UKC22 region in the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of scaffolding systems, especially those that offer innovative, flexible, and cost-effective mobile solutions. Companies with expertise in construction equipment and facilities maintenance, having the capacity to provide scaffolding that ensures safety and frequent relocations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity to enhance their market presence within the public sector, align with Gateshead Borough Council's commitment to efficiency and value for money, and foster growth by becoming a vital part in revolutionising their scaffolding approach.

## Notice

Gateshead Council is seeking to implement mobile scaffolding systems as part of its ongoing strategy to improve efficiency and reduce costs associated with traditional fixed scaffolding. Fixed scaffolding often requires significant time, labour, and expense for erection and dismantling, which impacts project timelines and budgets. By introducing mobile scaffolding solutions, Construction Services Repairs department aims to provide a safer, more flexible, and cost-effective access method for maintenance and repair works across its housing and property portfolio. This approach supports operational efficiency, reduces dependency on external scaffolding contractors, and aligns with our commitment to delivering value for money. The mobile scaffolding system will primarily be used as an alternative to fixed scaffolding for short-duration works and tasks requiring frequent relocation.
