Description
One off procurement exercise to purchase a crane wagon using the exemption process.
HBC had a 12 year old crane wagon operated by the Street Lighting Team purchased in 2018 from Leeds Commercial Vehicle hire and was an ex-hire vehicle at the time. This vehicle was then approved to be replaced as part of HBC Vehicle procurement program for 2024/25.
Following maintenance issues a replacement vehicle was sought. As this vehicle is a specialist vehicle under which there is no specific procurement framework and in which following research done from local suppliers we contacted LCV Hire and enquired about any vehicles that they had for sale following what has been deemed to be a successful arrangement in 2018 when the previous vehicle was purchased.
A potential replacement vehicle was identified at the LCV depot and following checks it was deemed that this would be very suitable for the Street Operations Team. LCV also agreed to replace the flooring and a tool box at their own cost.
