Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured an ultra-narrow-access 7.5-tonne recycling vehicle for refuse collection. The requirement is for a goods supply rather than a service or construction project, covering a specialist vehicle suitable for collection operations in constrained-access locations. Delivery is within Wrexham County Borough Council’s area in Wales. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement sits within its waste and recycling operations. The classification used is refuse-collection vehicles (CPV 34144511). The procurement relates to one vehicle requirement under the relevant framework lot, so businesses active in specialist municipal, recycling or refuse-collection vehicle supply are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 to ROMAQUIP. Wrexham County Borough Council made a direct award under lot 5 of the TPPL Framework, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. The award is for GBP 280,000 excluding tax, or GBP 336,000 including tax. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 3 August 2026. The award is active and the tender is complete. One supplier was selected for the single completed lot; the published outcome identifies ROMAQUIP as the supplier.

This award signals demand from Wrexham County Borough Council for specialist refuse-collection vehicles designed for ultra-narrow access and a 7.5-tonne operating class. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be vehicle manufacturers, dealers or specialist municipal fleet providers able to offer compliant recycling vehicles, demonstrate practical suitability for constrained routes and support the council’s operational needs. Experience supplying local-authority waste fleets would strengthen credibility, particularly where it covers vehicle configuration, delivery, commissioning and after-sales support. The route used here also shows the commercial importance of access to the TPPL Framework and its relevant vehicle lot for suppliers targeting this buyer.
