Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council purchased four 18-tonne refuse collection vehicles for use in Wrexham, supporting the council’s household and commercial waste collection operations. The requirement is for vehicles rather than a servicing, maintenance or waste-management service. It falls within the goods category and is classified as refuse vehicles (CPV 34144510). Delivery is to Wrexham, Wales. The council is the public-sector buyer and contracting authority. The procurement was made under Lot 2 of the TPPL Framework, indicating that the requirement was sourced through an established vehicle-supply arrangement. Businesses active in manufacturing, supplying or distributing heavy refuse collection vehicles are the closest commercial match, particularly those able to provide complete 18-tonne vehicles for local-authority waste fleets.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 to Dennis Eagle Ltd. Wrexham County Borough Council used a direct award under the TPPL Framework, Lot 2, below the relevant threshold and without competition. The award and contract value is £920,000 excluding VAT, or £1,104,000 including VAT, for all four vehicles. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. The contract is active. The published outcome records one completed lot and one supplier. The route used did not involve an open competition for this purchase, so the award demonstrates the council’s use of a framework-based direct-award route for this type of vehicle requirement.

This award is commercially relevant to manufacturers, specialist distributors and fleet suppliers of heavy refuse collection vehicles, especially businesses able to supply four vehicles in the 18-tonne class as a coordinated local-authority order. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a suitable product range, reliable production or supply capacity, and the ability to deliver vehicles to Wrexham within a defined contract period. Experience of public-sector purchasing and access to the relevant framework route would also be important, because this buyer used a framework lot and a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The award provides evidence of demand for replacement or expanded refuse-collection fleet capacity from Wrexham County Borough Council, at a scale suited to established specialist suppliers.
