## Summary

Mid Devon District Council is procuring servicing and ad hoc repair services for handheld and small plant machinery used by its Street Scene and Grounds Maintenance teams. The equipment supports grass cutting, hedge maintenance, arboricultural work, street cleansing and grounds maintenance across the Mid Devon district. The requirement is to keep this machinery safe, compliant and operational so that essential local services can continue. This is a machinery repair and maintenance services opportunity, covering the council’s range of small plant and associated equipment rather than general vehicle maintenance or construction works. It will suit businesses providing planned servicing and responsive repairs for professional grounds maintenance, arboricultural or local-authority equipment.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through an open below-threshold competition, with electronic submission allowed. Questions had to be submitted by 23 September 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £66,666.67 excluding VAT, or £80,000 including VAT. The single contract is scheduled to run from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2029, with an option for one further 12-month renewal, giving a maximum end date of 15 November 2030. Bids will be evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%. Conditions of participation are set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is commercially relevant to machinery dealers, manufacturers’ approved service providers, specialist plant maintenance firms and independent repair businesses with the skills to service and repair handheld and small plant machinery. Suppliers should be able to diagnose faults, carry out planned maintenance and respond to ad hoc repair requirements while maintaining equipment safety, compliance and operational reliability. Experience supporting grounds maintenance, arboricultural, street cleansing or similar operational teams would be directly relevant. The work calls for a service operation capable of covering equipment used across a district and managing both routine servicing and unplanned repairs.

## Notice

Mid Devon District Council's Street Scene and Grounds Maintenance teams rely on a range of handheld and small plant machinery to deliver essential operational services across the district, including grass cutting, hedge maintenance, arboricultural works, street cleansing and grounds maintenance activities. Ensuring this equipment remains safe, compliant and operational is critical to effective service delivery.
