Tender description
The notice is to direct award for the repair and maintenance of the Stafford Borough Council grounds maintenance equipment to F.R. Sharrock Ltd. The Council have attempted to reprocure the above service via a mini competition framework, with the support of Staffordshire County Council's Procurement Team, however, the attempt was unsuccessful, as it had no response from a suitable supplier. The Council cannot operate a large number of its Streetscene services without an experienced plant and equipment maintenance provider, it is therefore implementing a direct award contract to its incumbent supplier, while it attempts to reprocure a longer-term contract and will be completed via a full procurement process. The procurement process will again be undertaken with the support of Staffordshire County Council's procurement team.

About the buyer
Staffordshire County Council buys as a local authority, with a Commercial Team managing procurement on its behalf. Suppliers register on Proactis, the council's electronic tendering system, to view opportunities and submit bids. Larger opportunities are also advertised on Find a Tender, the government's procurement portal. Contracts below the advertised threshold are handled directly by individual council directorates rather than the Commercial Team. Existing framework agreements, dynamic purchasing systems and collaborative partner arrangements are used ahead of new competitions where possible. Contract award notices and procurement reports are published for transparency.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Staffordshire County Council's contract awards have been in business services, waste, cleaning and environmental services and construction work.
