Summary of the contracting process

The Conwy County Borough Council has concluded a direct award procurement process for a specialist Waste Handler, as part of its Vehicle Replacement Programme 2025. The procurement, titled "CCBC Direct award - Purchase of a specialist Waste Handler," involves the purchase from Molson Group, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Warrington, UK. The contract stage is complete with the award notice published on 16 June 2026. The procurement method employed was a direct award, justified by the specific availability and specifications that align with the council’s requirements at the Mochdre Materials Recycling Facility located in Colwyn Bay, Wales. The contract's value is set at £202,000 with a gross value of £242,000, and the contract period will run from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2026.

This direct award creates opportunities for businesses specialising in industrial machinery, particularly those involved in manufacturing and supplying machinery suited for material recycling facilities. SMEs that offer uniquely designed products, as opposed to generic adaptations, are well-positioned to benefit from future opportunities, given the preference shown for specialist machines like the Sennebogen 817 E Mobile Material Handler. Companies aiming to expand within the public sector and those capable of responding to region-specific requirements, such as those under Welsh devolved regulations, would find such tenders advantageous for business growth.

Notice Title

CCBC Direct award - Purchase of a specialist Waste Handler

Notice Description

Conwy County Borough Council wishes to direct award the purchase of this specialist Waste Handler to Molson Group. This procurement forms part of Conwy County Borough Council's Vehicle Replacement Programme 2025 (Reference: Replacement Waste Handler CCBC25040). It is the intention of the Waste Service to replace the existing Terex Waste Handler located at Mochdre Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) with a Sennebogen 817 E Mobile Material Handler. A direct award is requested due to the availability and specification requirements of the machine.

Procurement Information

The Sennebogen is a specialist design, whereas other models are conversions of a general excavator platform, making the Sennebogen significantly better suited for continuous MRF operations. This results in improved efficiency, operator safety, and productivity.
