## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has completed a procurement process under the title "GP230 - Vehicle Hydraulic Services" within the services industry category. This procurement aims to maintain and repair hydraulic systems in Council-owned vehicles. The process, managed directly and below threshold without competition, involved requesting quotations from three organisations, resulting in only one submission. Due to incomplete submissions, Middlesbrough Council invoked an exemption for a two-year contract starting 12 January 2026 and ending 31 December 2027 with Wood Hydraulic Services Ltd t/a Pirtek Cleveland, located in Stockton On Tees. This contract ensures 24-hour, year-round availability with emergency breakdown support and falls under the region UKC12 in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for service providers specialising in vehicle hydraulic services, especially those capable of providing comprehensive maintenance and repair solutions on a contractual basis. Businesses that can supply and install hydraulic pipes and fixtures efficiently would be well-suited to compete in future open procurements, especially those familiar with Council vehicle requirements. Participating in similar procurements can enhance a business's portfolio, increase market visibility, and build long-term relationships with public authorities such as Middlesbrough Council. Additionally, organisations already providing emergency breakdown services within tight response windows may have a strategic advantage in upcoming open procurement rounds.

## Notice

A closed quotation procurement has been run for this requirement with 3 organisations invited to bid. However, only 1 submission has been received and the supplier failed to fully complete the requested pricing schedule. We therefore cannot award under the procurement and will proceed with an exemption to be able to progress with the vital services provided. Pirtek Cleveland are our current supplier and provide services to repair existing and supply and fit new hydraulic pipes and associated fixtures and fittings to a range of Council owned vehicles based at Resolution House. This in on a 24hr, 365 days a year basis and includes emergency breakdown cover within 90 minutes during normal working hours and within 2 hours at all other times. The procurement was originally intended to be for 5 years however, the exemption is for 2 years. An open procurement will be run during this time to understand the marketplace and identify any other suppliers who can provide the services on our stated terms.
