## Summary

Scottish Borders Council has concluded the procurement process for the purchase of gritters, a contract which was signed on 6th June 2025. The contract, valued at £277,000, is categorised under goods within the general public services sector and falls within the region of UKM91. This procurement process was executed through a limited method, specifically, an award procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, for the acquisition of four pre-owned Mercedes-Benz Arocs 2635 with Econ wet spreaders. The tender stage is marked as complete, and the awarded supplier is Econ Engineering Ltd, an SME based in Ripon, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in automotive equipment supply, particularly those offering specialised vehicle modifications. Companies with expertise in the maintenance and refurbishment of pre-owned vehicles, like those with technical capabilities in fitting specialised equipment, would be well-suited for similar future opportunities. Participation in such selective procurement processes can enhance business growth by fostering relationships with regional authorities such as the Scottish Borders Council and potentially leading to further contract awards in the public sector.
