Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council has awarded a contract for the purchase of three four-wheel drive tractors and front and rear flail mowers, intended for maintenance tasks on trunk roads and other operations within Powys. This procurement process, labelled under the industry category of Agricultural Machinery, was initiated using an open procedure, allowing a wide scope of potential suppliers to compete. The tender culminated with R.V.W. Pugh Ltd, an SME located in Church Stoke, securing the award. With the milestone for the contract signature scheduled for 19th January 2026, the contract will span from 20th January 2026 to 10th April 2026. The standstill period concludes on the 30th December 2025, and the procurement adhered to Welsh devolved regulations.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural machinery, particularly those capable of providing robust and versatile equipment suited for variable terrain and multiple maintenance functions. SMEs with expertise in manufacturing or supplying heavy-duty tractors with customised options—such as tinted cab glass or chassis protection—are well-positioned to vie for future similar contracts. The open procurement method allowed Powys County Council to reach a broad array of suppliers, offering a chance for well-prepared and qualified businesses to expand their market reach and establish government contract relationships. The detailed selection criteria, including technical and economic requirements, further ensure that competing businesses align closely with the Council's operational needs and safety standards.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Award of Tender for the Purchase of Three Tractors and Front and Rear Flail Mowers

Notice Description

Powys County Council sought to purchase three new four-wheel drive tractors for use on Trunk Road Cyclic maintenance, including carrying out grass cutting operations and occasional hedge trimming to ensure roads are kept in a safe and serviceable condition throughout the County of Powys. The machines are also used for other activities including ditching and as back-up for the Council's winter maintenance activities between October and March. Due to the locations in which the Machines operate, the size of the Machine was an important consideration; many sections of the highway are not accompanied by a traffic control team when verge cutting.
