## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by Cheltenham Borough Council involved the acquisition of two 2.5t Counterbalance forklifts with complete attachments, including a fourth-year warranty. This tender, classified under the industry category of forklift trucks with CPV code 42415110, falls under the 'goods' procurement category. Originally planned without a prior publication of a call for competition, this limited procurement approach was justified as being outside the scope of a directive. The procurement stage has moved from tender to award, and the contract was signed on 18th December 2025 for a value of £89,680.50. The delivery location is specified as UKK1 which refers to an area in the South West of England.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying forklift trucks, specifically those accustomed to public sector collaborations. The award to B & B Machinery demonstrates a chance for large-scale suppliers with the capacity for delivering specialised equipment along with extended warranties. Companies with expertise in manufacturing or supplying such machinery can look to future opportunities where a similar procurement approach is taken, benefiting from frameworks that permit direct awards.
