How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a closed award notice, not a tender opportunity — the contract has already been given to Turney Groundcare. You cannot bid on this specific purchase.
- 2The council used 'frameworks' (pre-agreed supplier lists) to make this decision quickly without a full tender process. If you want future work, you'd need to get on these frameworks: NEPO and The Procurement Partnership Framework.
- 3This is 'supply only' work — the council just wanted to buy the equipment, not hire someone to install it or maintain it afterwards.
- 4'Contract value' (£36,875) is what they paid — useful for budgeting if you're considering similar equipment purchases yourself.
- 5If you're interested in Tamworth Borough Council work, search for their upcoming tenders and check which frameworks they use for different types of work.
Tips for Small Businesses

- Watch Tamworth Borough Council's future notices for service contracts (maintenance, repairs, or hire) related to this woodchipper — those may be open tenders where you could compete.
