Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council purchased four narrow-access 12-tonne recycling vehicles for refuse collection. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, covering specialist municipal waste-collection vehicles suitable for access-constrained routes. Delivery is associated with Wrexham, Wales. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement formed one lot. The vehicles are classified as refuse-collection vehicles. This opportunity is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, commercial vehicle dealers, specialist waste-equipment suppliers and businesses able to supply complete narrow-access recycling vehicles for local-authority operations. It may also suit firms able to support vehicle configuration, delivery and related commercial vehicle requirements, although the published procurement specifically concerns the purchase of four vehicles rather than ongoing collection services or general fleet management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Motus Commercials on 30 July 2026. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is active, covering 4 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. The awarded value is £1,080,000 excluding VAT, or £1,296,000 including VAT. Wrexham County Borough Council made a direct award under lot 1 of the TPPL framework, using a below-threshold procedure without competition and in line with the council’s financial regulations. The award concerns the complete requirement for four narrow-access 12-tonne recyclers; no separate supplier or lot awards are recorded. The contract is for goods, evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route rather than an open competition for this purchase.

This award demonstrates a defined council demand for a small fleet of narrow-access, 12-tonne recycling vehicles for refuse collection in Wrexham. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would have a proven ability to manufacture, supply or distribute specialist waste-collection vehicles, with suitable vehicle capacity and dimensions for constrained access routes. Credible competitors would also need to manage public-sector vehicle deliveries and understand the operational requirements of local-authority waste services. Experience supplying complete fleet assets, rather than general transport vehicles, would be particularly relevant. The procurement also shows that this buyer uses a framework-based direct-award route for this type of purchase, so businesses seeking comparable work would benefit from understanding the relevant framework arrangements and maintaining a route to participate through them.
