## Summary

Northumberland County Council purchased three Timberwolf TW 230HB diesel woodchippers, each under 750 kg, for its work in Northumberland. This is a supply contract for specialist wood-chipping machinery, classified under agricultural machinery. The equipment is intended for delivery in Northumberland. The award names Thomas Sherriff and Company Limited as the supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Northumberland County Council awarded the single lot to Thomas Sherriff and Company Limited through a selective route, as an award under the NEPO214 framework; the process was not a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2027. Its value is £65,985 excluding VAT and £79,182 including VAT. The award date is not stated. The purchase covers three woodchippers; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows demand from Northumberland County Council for a small fleet of sub-750 kg diesel woodchippers, specifically Timberwolf TW 230HB machines. A credible supplier for a repeat requirement would need to source and supply this equipment, and demonstrate the ability to meet the council’s delivery needs across Northumberland. The purchase was made under the NEPO214 framework rather than through a competitive call-off, so suppliers would need relevant access to that framework to compete by the same route. The selected supplier is a large machinery business, indicating that capacity to handle a multi-unit equipment order is relevant. The requirement is focused on supplying the specified woodchippers, rather than broader agricultural machinery services or works.
