UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured two Vermeer BC230XL wood chippers. The requirement concerns specialist equipment for processing wood and related operational use, with associated vehicle and equipment repair and maintenance services classified under CPV 50100000 and 50800000. The buying organisation is the Council of the City of Wakefield, a local public authority based in Wakefield. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The awarded requirement is presented as a services procurement, so relevant businesses are those able to supply Vermeer BC230XL chippers and support their operation through appropriate maintenance or associated equipment services. The opportunity is specific to Vermeer chipper equipment rather than a broad, general plant or vehicle procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold procedure whose detailed method is recorded as unknown. One completed lot was awarded to IP Equipment Sales Ltd. The award was made on 17 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 17 July 2026. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its gross value is £87,000. The contract is active and the awarded supplier is IP Equipment Sales Ltd, an SME based in Guildford. The contract covers the Vermeer Chippers requirement and relates to the supply and associated services for two Vermeer BC230XL machines. The procurement was evaluated through the stated contracting process, with no award criteria published in the available procurement details.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Wakefield Council for two Vermeer BC230XL chippers, supported by associated repair, maintenance and equipment services. A credible future competitor would need to supply this specific Vermeer product or provide an offer that meets the buyer’s technical need, together with the specialist knowledge to support wood-chipping equipment in operational use. Relevant experience in servicing vehicles, plant or related equipment would strengthen a supplier’s position. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses tracking this buyer should therefore align their capability around Vermeer equipment supply, maintenance support and reliable service delivery for local-authority operations.
