## Summary

The Health and Safety Executive is buying one reach truck, classified as a forklift truck, for its Science, Engineering and Analysis Division. The vehicle is intended for use at the HSE Science & Research Centre in Buxton. This is a goods requirement for a single item rather than a service, construction project or fleet contract. The procurement is managed by the Health and Safety Executive, a central government public authority. The vehicle will need to support operational activity at the HSE’s science and research facilities, with a demonstrator vehicle tested at the HSE Science & Research Centre at Harpur Hill, Buxton. Suppliers of industrial forklift trucks and material-handling equipment are the natural fit for this requirement.

The process has reached tender: the Health and Safety Executive invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 1 September 2026 at 13:00, and offers by 8 September 2026 at 13:00. The contract period is 28 February 2027 to 28 February 2027. The estimated value is £21,000 excluding VAT, or £25,200 including VAT. There is one lot. The award will consider the technical specification, ability to deliver within the required timeframe and price. Before award, the highest-scoring supplier must provide a demonstrator vehicle for operational testing at Harpur Hill. If it fails the requirements, the next supplier will be tested, continuing until a suitable vehicle is identified.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in supplying reach trucks or comparable forklift equipment for industrial and research environments. Competitors should be able to offer a vehicle that meets the HSE’s technical and operational specification, provide a demonstrator for testing before award, and deliver within the required timeframe. The evaluation rewards a combination of technical compliance, delivery performance and price, so suppliers need both a suitable vehicle and a credible fulfilment plan. Businesses with access to demonstration stock, experienced technical personnel and arrangements for delivery to the HSE Science & Research Centre in Buxton will be well placed to compete. The requirement is focused on supplying one vehicle rather than providing ongoing fleet management or a wider equipment programme.
