Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the acquisition of four 16-tonne refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) through the Easter Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) 215_24 Specialist Vehicles Framework, addressing increasing financial pressures. The council reserved the option to purchase an additional two units within 30 days of the official purchase order. The procurement process, valued at £713,020, followed a limited procedure and was awarded to NTM-GB LIMITED, a supplier based in Kidderminster, UK, with the contract signed on 15th October 2025. This process falls under the goods category, specifically within the refuse-collection vehicles industry, in the UK location identified as region UKL24.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of refuse-collection vehicles and similar specialist motor vehicles. The procurement method's limited procedure without prior publication could be more suited to suppliers with existing framework agreements or those capable of rapid deployment. Suppliers experienced in competitive bidding through frameworks like ESPO can position themselves to benefit from similar future procurement needs of local councils. As the contract supports potential additional purchases, businesses prepared for quick response times and keen to establish long-term relationships with councils may find this opportunity aligns with their strategic growth goals.
