Tender description
Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) is looking to purchase a generator with a power rating of between 80KVA to 100KVA to mitigate against the disruption caused by a power outage. The depot at Bircholt Road is an important part of Maidstone Borough Council's service responsibility, therefore vital that a level of service is attainable during periods of local or national outages. For that reason, we require a generator that will support the continuity of key services. There are several aspects that need to be considered, including: \r \r • Powering the fuel pump used for the fleet of vehicles still running on diesel \r • Charging the fleet of electric vehicles \r • Charging the electric ground maintenance equipment \r • Maintaining a level of power within the MBC depot office to run the systems needed to support the actions outlined above. \r \r Key Dates & Timeline for Procurement\r \r Tender release: 20th June 2024\r Expression of Interest Deadline: 12:00pm Thursday 11th July 2024\r Deadline for submission of completed tenders: 12:00pm Thursday 18th July 2024\r Evaluation: w/c 22nd July 2024\r Appointment of contractor: w/c 29th July 2024\r \r Tenderers interested in this tender must register and express their interest through the Kent Business Portal (registration is free).

About the buyer
Maidstone Borough Council runs local services for the borough, and buys as a local authority with its own procurement team. Tender opportunities appear on the Kent Business Portal, run using the Pro-Contract e-tendering system. Contracts above a set threshold are advertised and formally tendered, using Open or Restricted procedures. Smaller purchases are awarded after written quotes from at least three suppliers, with a preference for local firms. No approved supplier list is kept, so each contract goes out to tender individually. The council's procurement team also delivers commissioned and collaborative buying for authorities across Kent.
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 Maidstone Borough Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and business services.
