Overview

Defra Group Fleet Services requires modern, sustainable, and optimised ground care, agricultural and plant equipment to support operational delivery across the group. The purpose of this project is to establish long-term, Defra group-wide contract(s) for the supply of ground care, agricultural and plant equipment, led by the Environment Agency (as the main customer), with access available for the whole group. The contract(s) will provide a consistent, streamlined, and effective approach to sourcing ground care, agricultural and plant assets, ensuring operational readiness across Defra group sites. The procurement is split into 4 lots. The Authority is committed to supporting SME participation. Regional lotting was considered during procurement design but was not adopted due to operational, commercial and contract management considerations. Bidders may bid as a consortium and subcontracting arrangements are permitted. Regional suppliers are encouraged to collaborate where appropriate to deliver the requirement.
