Description

CITB is seeking to procure two items of plant machinery to support its Plant Operator training operations. The first requirement is for a new or very low hour ex-demo 25-30 tonne Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) to replace a machine sold in 2025 and restore the ADT training fleet to four machines. With the fleet currently operating at three machines, the training department faces ongoing challenges in allocating learners effectively. Whilst hiring has been considered, ADTs are a highly specialist machine, carry significant hire costs, and availability across the UK market is severely limited due to demand from major ongoing construction projects. Those machines available for hire do not meet the required standard for training purposes. The second requirement is for a new or very low hour ex-demo agricultural tractor to replace an aging machine used in the preparation of Plant Operator training fields and for apprentice and commercial training activity. The current tractor carries a high number of operational hours due to frequent use, and maintenance costs are increasing as a result. This ground preparation function is essential to the continued operation of the training field. Whilst a dozer can be used as an alternative, the running and repair costs associated with this type of machine make it an unviable long-term solution.

Lot Division

1 New or very low hours ex-demo 25-30T Articulated Dump Truck

To replace an out-of-date machine that was sold in 2025 and bring the ADT fleet back up to four machines. With the fleet being restricted to three, the training department struggles with allocating learners to machines. Ideally, we could hire this machine, however, they are an extremely niche machine and very expensive to hire. Adding to the issues with hiring, the large construction projects currently ongoing in the UK, the number of machines available for hire are limited and what are on the market are not of an acceptable standard.
2 A new or low hours ex-demo 4WD tractor, 200-250HP

To replace an aging tractor used for preparing the Plant Operator training fields and used for apprentice/commercial training. The repairs bills for the tractor are starting to increase because of the relatively high hours as the tractor is used frequently to prepare the ground for training. This operation is needed for the continued use of the field. We can use a dozer; however, the high running costs and repairs bills that result from running this type of machine doesn’t make it a viable option.
