Purpose

The Council had the need to procure a 5 tonne
Sweeper to replace the current sweeper that is beyond economical
repair.
 
An exercise was undertaken through the TPPL
Framework (TPPLHCCOP03 – Lot 4 – Pedestrian, Compact
and Chassis Mounted Road Sweepers up to 12.5T Vehicle Purchase).
Scarab RAVO R2 + Scrub Deck was the winner in terms of performance,
construction, pricing and optional extras.
 
The purchase cost of the sweeper is
£100,812.69 + VAT.
 
This vehicle will also represent the cleanest
possible I.C.E variant of sweeper, reducing CO2 emissions and
further enhancing the Council’s Ultra Low / Zero emission
%.
 
Consultation has taken place and agreement
received from the Council’s Director of Operations and Place,
the Council’s Section 151 Officer and the Portfolio Holders
for Resources and Environment & Transport.
