What the timing means
The stated contract period starts on 21 September. That is a useful qualification point; it is not a confirmed date for plant delivery. The notice allows extension to 30 June 2027.
Timing assessment: 13 Sept 2026. Contract dates do not confirm equipment delivery or an unfilled hire requirement.
Check these points
- UK7 records signature on 7 September 2026. The period is a contract programme, not a verified on-site mobilisation report.
- Only £120,000 including VAT is published; the net amount is unknown and is not back-calculated.
- Possible extension to 30 June 2027 is not the base programme.
- No project-specific open equipment enquiry or unsatisfied hire requirement has been verified.
- MPH’s published route is a general business contact, not project-specific buying authority or an invitation to quote.
A practical next step
If the location and likely equipment suit your fleet, ask MPH whether the staircase package has any unfilled access or small-tool requirement, and who handles it. Check transport cost and specifications before quoting.
Changes worth watching
Watch for changes to the contract period, cancellation/termination notices, and any published project buying contact. No new milestone was found in the returned OCID history on 13 September.
