## Summary

Northumberland County Council bought one Scarab road sweeper, a vehicle used for street-cleaning. The purchase was made through a framework covering cars and light and medium commercial vehicles, specifically its category for pedestrian, compact and chassis-mounted road sweepers. The delivery location is Northumberland. The buyer is the county council, based in Morpeth. This is a vehicle supply requirement rather than a road-sweeping service contract: the procurement description is for the purchase of a single sweeper, with no additional service work described.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Scarab Sweepers Limited. The award is active, and the contract is active; it was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract value is £191,035.08. The council made a limited award without publishing a prior call for competition, as a below-threshold purchase through the TPPLHCCCH03 framework. The requirement was presented as one lot, with price as the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This purchase demonstrates demand from Northumberland County Council for a compact or chassis-mounted road sweeper through an established vehicle framework. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to supply a suitable road-cleaning vehicle and be able to sell through the relevant framework route; the council used the framework rather than running a published open competition. The successful supplier was Scarab Sweepers Limited. The stated evaluation basis was price, so a credible competitor would need to offer a commercially competitive vehicle that meets the council’s requirement. The procurement describes a single-vehicle supply, indicating a focused equipment sale rather than a broader fleet or maintenance contract.
