Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council purchased six large 12-tonne chassis-mounted refuse-collection vehicles for kerbside recycling operations. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, covering the supply of specialist waste and recycling collection vehicles. Delivery is in Wrexham, Wales. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement was managed under its procurement arrangements. The vehicles are intended to support the council’s kerbside recycling service, so relevant businesses include manufacturers, commercial vehicle dealers, specialist waste-collection vehicle suppliers and businesses able to provide suitable chassis and body configurations. The procurement concerns a single vehicle requirement delivered as one purchase, rather than maintenance, fleet management or an operational waste collection service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Motus Commercials. The award date was 30 July 2026, for £1,080,000 excluding VAT, or £1,296,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. The award has a service period beginning on 17 August 2026 and ending on 30 April 2027. The council used a direct award under lot 1 of the TPPL framework, without competition, and classified the purchase as below threshold. The contract covers six large 12-tonne chassis vehicles for refuse collection. A signature milestone was scheduled for 14 August 2026. Motus Commercials is the selected supplier.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible supplier would need to supply large 12-tonne chassis configured as refuse-collection vehicles for kerbside recycling, with the capacity to deliver six vehicles as a coordinated fleet purchase. Relevant competitors are likely to include commercial vehicle manufacturers, dealer groups, specialist waste-body builders and framework suppliers able to combine chassis procurement with suitable recycling-collection configurations. The award shows that Wrexham County Borough Council buys this equipment through a public-sector framework route and can place a substantial single order rather than buying individual vehicles separately. Businesses considering this market should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable vehicle sourcing, fleet-scale delivery, public-sector framework access and experience supplying specialist waste and recycling collection equipment.
