## Summary

Middlesbrough Council procured a Timberwolf TW 280HBD wood chipper. This is a goods purchase of machinery for processing timber and branches, rather than a service or works contract. The delivery location is Middlesbrough, in the North East of England. The procurement covers one wood chipper, identified by model; the published description does not set out further technical specifications or an intended operational use. The purchase was made under an existing framework, so the requirement was a framework call-off rather than a standalone procurement. The selected supplier, Thomas Sherriff and Company Limited, is based in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Thomas Sherriff and Company Limited on 7 October 2026. The awarded value is £33,956.40 including VAT (£28,297 excluding VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled by 31 October 2026. There was one lot, for the wood chipper. The council used a selective process and made the award under a framework; the call-off was not competitive. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions. The award is active, and the procurement is below the applicable threshold.

For suppliers of wood chippers and related machinery, this award shows that Middlesbrough Council purchases specialist equipment through framework call-offs. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to supply a Timberwolf TW 280HBD or an appropriate equivalent, meet the council’s specification, and be positioned to fulfil delivery in Middlesbrough. The selected business is a large agricultural and machinery supplier, indicating that established equipment distribution capability is relevant to this purchase. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide the required machine, arrange delivery and support the council’s purchasing route through a suitable framework. The recorded requirement is for a single machine, so this is a focused equipment supply opportunity rather than a large-scale works or service contract.
