## Summary

Nottingham City Council is in the planning stage for the procurement of an "Operated Plant Framework" to support projects within the boundaries of Nottingham City. This procurement falls under the industry category of works and involves the hire of construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment with operators. This initiative is part of a pipeline notice published to prepare the market for a forthcoming tender opportunity, with a future notice date set for 15 July 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, and it is expected to commence on 7 September 2026 and conclude on 6 September 2030. The estimated value of the framework is £2,400,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those experienced in providing operated machinery and equipment. Nottingham City Council is looking for suppliers with relevant expertise and invites small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to participate, given the framework’s suitability for such organisations. Companies that wish to expand their reach and establish or strengthen relationships with public authorities in the East Midlands region will find this opportunity highly beneficial. Registration on the council's e-tendering platform, EastMidsTenders, is recommended to receive direct notifications of developments concerning this and other procurements.
