Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield bought a Mini-Cam Solo Pro push-rod camera for drainage work. This is a goods procurement covering specialist inspection equipment, combining camera technology with drainage equipment (CPV 38651000 and 43324000). The equipment is for use in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Wakefield. The requirement is focused on a single camera system rather than a broader service, maintenance or construction contract. It would suit suppliers that manufacture, distribute or support push-rod CCTV equipment used to inspect drainage assets. The named product requirement indicates that familiarity with the Mini-Cam Solo Pro specification, or the ability to supply an equivalent solution where permitted, is central to the opportunity.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to MINICAM LTD, a Manchester-based small and medium-sized enterprise. It was a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 28 July 2026 to 2 September 2026. Its gross value is £7,156. The award covers one completed lot and the award status is active. The Council of the City of Wakefield is the buyer. The purchasing decision concerned a push-rod camera, with the successful supplier identified as MINICAM LTD. The contract is also recorded as active, indicating that delivery or performance follows the award and signature.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Wakefield’s council for compact, specialist equipment used to inspect drainage systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply professional push-rod camera technology and understand the practical needs of drainage inspection teams, including equipment suitable for field use and asset investigation. Product knowledge matters because the requirement named the Mini-Cam Solo Pro rather than describing a general camera purchase. Suppliers with an established drainage-equipment range, relevant public-sector trading experience and the operational capacity to fulfil a focused equipment order would be well placed. The incumbent is an SME specialist, showing that this type of requirement can suit a focused supplier rather than only a large general engineering or construction business.
