## Summary

Plymouth City Council bought existing engineering equipment from Cornwall College for transfer into the council’s ownership. The purchase supports the transition of Engineering Centre operations to On Course South West. The goods cover electrical equipment and apparatus, printing and graphics equipment, and tools. This is a goods requirement rather than a service, construction or maintenance contract. The buying organisation is Plymouth City Council, with the equipment associated with operations in Plymouth. Cornwall College, based in St Austell, was the supplying organisation. The requirement is relevant to businesses that supply, transfer, manage or dispose of established engineering, electrical, workshop, printing or graphics equipment, particularly where equipment ownership must move between public or education-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cornwall College on 2 July 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 2 July to 31 August 2026. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. Plymouth City Council used a sole-source procurement, described as below threshold. The award covers one completed lot and the contract is active. The selected supplier is Cornwall College. The purchase concerns existing equipment rather than new manufacture or ongoing services, and the award relates to electrical equipment and apparatus, printing and graphics equipment, and tools. The evaluation route was therefore direct supplier selection rather than a competitive tender, with the outcome reflecting the identified source of the equipment.

This award indicates demand for the transfer of established engineering-centre equipment into council ownership, spanning electrical apparatus, tools, and printing or graphics equipment. A future competitor would need credible access to comparable equipment and the ability to identify, document, value and transfer assets as an integrated package. Relevant capability includes managing mixed equipment inventories, confirming condition and suitability, arranging ownership transfer, and coordinating collection, delivery or installation where required. Experience working with councils, colleges or other public-sector and education organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance and operational transition requirements. Suppliers specialising only in a single equipment category may be less well placed than businesses able to handle a varied engineering and technical equipment requirement.
