The Procurement Partnership Ltd (TPPL) have completed an PCR2015 compliant tendering exercise in partnership with the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) to establish a Procurement Framework covering grounds maintenance equipment, plant equipment and handheld tools including spare parts and maintenance contract services. The Framework also provides for the hire of equipment in addition to outright purchase.
Purchase of a variety of grounds maintenance equipment, including but not limited to walk behind mowers, ride on mowers, walk behind / ride-on rollers, tractor driven mowers, utility vehicles / quad bikes, spreaders/sprayers, compact tractors, trailers, woodchippers/shredders, stump grinders, pressure washing machines (including graffiti removal washers) both towed and vehicle-mounted, golf course maintenance equipment (and golf buggies), and equipment associated with bereavement services. All types of agricultural equipment including but not limited to, combined harvesters, bailers, agricultural trailers, tractors, implements, and attachments may also be purchased.
Equipment supplied may include alternatively powered options, as well as innovative solutions, including but not limited to, battery/electric powered and remote controlled/robotic/automated versions.
Unless expressly specified by a member during a call-off process, equipment supplied under this lot is to be new. Used/refurbished equipment can be specified by members if they choose.
The Lot will also include the options to offer spare parts and maintenance contract services.
Purchase of a variety of plant equipment including, but not limited to dumpers, loaders, rubber ducks, excavators (compact, mini, midi), tracked excavators, backhoe loaders, wheeled loaders, telescopic handlers. All types of industrial and all-terrain fork lifts to include gas, electric and gasoline. Wheeled excavators, skidsteer loaders and all types of static, mobile and vehicle mounted generators. Access platforms wheel, mechanical and vehicle mounted. Site cabins / buildings / toilets, lighting, static and mobile platforms. Air conditioning and heating units static, both mobile and vehicle mounted. Materials handling equipment.
Equipment supplied may include alternative powered options, as well as innovative solutions, including but not limited to, battery/electric powered and remote controlled/robotic/automated versions.
Unless expressly specified by a member during a call-off process equipment supplied under this lot is to be new. Used/refurbished equipment can be specified by members if they choose.
The Lot will also include the options to offer spare parts and maintenance contract services.
Purchase of the full range of handheld tools and accessories (e.g. batteries), including but limited to all electrical and mechanical tools and building or construction tools and equipment (e.g. chainsaws, blowers, strimmers, hedge cutters, rollers, drills, saws, sanders, routers, nail guns etc).
Unless expressly specified by a member during a call-off process equipment supplied under this lot is to be new. Used/refurbished equipment can be specified by members if they choose.
The Lot will also include the options to offer spare parts and maintenance contract services.
Hire of all categories and types of equipment offered under Lots 1 to 3, and with additional tools/equipment such as access towers, cement mixers, tile saws, dehumidifiers, heaters, lighting, and other equipment that may be required on hire by members, such as welfare/site cabins, traffic management. Certain Grounds and Plant equipment may be hired on a with or without operator basis. Hire may be on a short or long-term basis.
The hire rates submitted under Lot 4 for grounds and plant equipment will form the basis of a rate book to be used by members seeking to hire those items via the Framework. Pricing for the rate book will be held fixed for each 12-month period of the Framework and adjusted following an annual refresh process. This does not limit members from accessing this Lot of the Framework to hire equipment not covered by the rate book.
There will not be an ongoing rate book held for the handheld tools priced as part of the cost submission for Lot 4. The intention is for hire contracts for handheld tools to be issued following competition for consolidated/longer term requirements. E.g. A member has an in-house contractor that regularly hires tools and equipment to complete works/services. A call-off contract with set hire rates for the member’s specific needs would be awarded based on the identified levels of usage for an extended period.
This comprehensive Framework is available to Local Authorities and the wider public/not-for-profit sector including:
All current and future members can access this framework.
The Framework Agreement provides access to 57 different suppliers.
