UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured a static hot box for delivery in Wrexham, under its requirement for a special-purpose motor vehicle. The purchase was made as goods rather than services or works, and formed a single requirement. The council is the public-sector buyer and the delivery location is within Wrexham County Borough. The equipment was purchased for the council’s operational use. The named supplier, Proteus Equipment Limited, is based in Bury Saint Edmunds. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, specialist vehicle suppliers and distributors able to provide static hot boxes or comparable special-purpose vehicles for local-authority operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Wrexham County Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, in line with its financial regulations. The award was made to Proteus Equipment Limited on 15 July 2026 for £44,920 excluding VAT (£53,904 including VAT). The award period was 28 to 31 July 2026. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026, is active, and runs from 5 August to 30 September 2026. The contract value is £44,920 excluding VAT (£53,904 including VAT). The process had one completed lot. The available information identifies the purchase as a static hot box and a special-purpose motor vehicle; no competitive evaluation basis is stated.

Although this purchase has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers tracking Wrexham County Borough Council’s vehicle and equipment requirements. A credible future competitor would need to supply a static hot box or equivalent special-purpose motor vehicle and be able to meet the council’s operational specification through a purchase-order arrangement. Proteus Equipment Limited, the selected supplier, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the buyer has obtained the equipment from an established specialist supplier rather than a general service provider. Businesses in this market should therefore monitor the council’s recurring demand for specialist operational vehicles and be ready to demonstrate directly relevant supply capability.
