Summary of the contracting process

Worcester City Council procured a specialist commercial industrial jet-washing system for city-wide cleansing operations. The equipment supports routine cleansing, chewing-gum removal and gully cleaning as part of public realm maintenance and environmental improvement work. The required system comprises a deep-cleaning system, a 200-bar lance, an integrated chewing-gum removal system, a gully-cleaning attachment and a 1,000-litre towable unit. Delivery and use cover Worcester city centre, council car parks and other public realm locations. This is a goods requirement, with associated equipment for street-cleaning activities. The buyer is Worcester City Council, based at The Guildhall in Worcester. The selected supplier was Pressure Washer Sales & Service, an SME based in Pershore.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly below the applicable threshold without competition. Pressure Washer Sales & Service was selected on 24 July 2026. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 27 July 2036. Its value is £28,310.45 excluding VAT, or £33,972.54 including VAT. One completed lot covered the full requirement. The award concerns pressurised water-cleaning apparatus and street-cleaning activities. The contract is active. The published process records a direct, below-threshold route rather than a competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a single-supplier award for the specified equipment and attachments. No separate evaluation weighting is stated for this award.

For suppliers competing when Worcester City Council next reviews this requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a complete, specialist cleansing system rather than a standard pressure washer alone. A credible competitor would need to supply or integrate deep-cleaning equipment, high-pressure 200-bar operation, chewing-gum removal, gully cleaning and a towable 1,000-litre unit. The equipment must support routine public-realm cleansing across city-centre areas, car parks and other council locations, so practical transportability and suitability for varied outdoor sites are important. Experience supplying commercial cleaning machinery to public-sector or municipal cleansing teams would strengthen credibility, as would the ability to provide compatible attachments, technical advice, servicing and operational support for a long-running council requirement.
