## Summary

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority and Civil Nuclear Constabulary seek a supplier for an electric forklift truck. The requirement covers supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance of the truck. This is a goods procurement for use in the United Kingdom. It suits businesses able to provide a complete equipment solution rather than supply-only delivery, including arranging the truck’s transport, installation at the operational location, commissioning for use and maintenance support. The buyer is a public authority based at Culham Campus in Abingdon. The requirement is described as a forklift truck procurement, with the relevant CPV classification 42415110. The opportunity is presented as one combined requirement rather than separate equipment, installation or maintenance packages.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with an estimated value of £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The deadline for both enquiries and tender submissions was set as 17 September 2026 at 16:00. The contract period is 21 October 2026 to 20 October 2028. Electronic submission was allowed. Offers were evaluated on quality at 60%, social value at 10% and price at 30%, making the technical and service response more important than price alone. The tender was below the applicable threshold and was not divided into multiple lots. The process is not recorded as cancelled or withdrawn.

This opportunity suits suppliers with practical experience of electric forklift trucks and the capacity to manage the full supply chain from delivery through installation and commissioning. Competitors should be able to provide dependable maintenance throughout the contract period, either with their own service team or through an appropriate support arrangement. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is accessible to organisations able to deliver the equipment and associated support at the required scale. A strong bid will need to demonstrate equipment quality, safe and effective commissioning, reliable after-sales maintenance and credible social value commitments, since quality and social value together carry most of the evaluation weighting.
