Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council procured four 5.5-tonne access platforms, classified as specialist vehicles. The requirement is for the supply of access-platform vehicles, with delivery in Wales. The council is based in Llandrindod Wells. This is a goods procurement focused on a defined fleet purchase, rather than a service or construction project. The specified quantity and vehicle capacity give suppliers a clear indication of the equipment required; the procurement description does not set out further technical features or intended operational use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Aldercote Limited. The award was made on 2 July 2026, for £408,484. The contract period runs from 3 July to 3 August 2026. The original estimated procurement value was also £408,484, and submissions were due by 19 May 2026. The published information identifies no procurement procedure or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which offers were assessed cannot be described. The requirement was presented as a single purchase of four access platforms, with no separate lots identified. The awarded supplier is a large business; the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows that Powys County Council buys specialist access-platform vehicles as a fleet requirement, with four 5.5-tonne units supplied in one purchase. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply vehicles matching the stated capacity and quantity, and be able to deliver them in Wales. The selected supplier was a large business, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer considered this purchase better suited to a larger supplier. The award provides a concrete example of the council’s purchasing demand and the scale of supply it has commissioned. Suppliers in the specialist vehicle market can use it to assess whether their product range and delivery capability match this buyer’s requirement.
