Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council procured a towable hot-water pressure washer for high-pressure cleaning work, supplied with a FR50 surface cleaner, additional hoses and a three-year service and maintenance package. The specified machine is a Kärcher HDS/20 DEtr1 with a Yanmar water-cooled diesel engine, 200-bar operating pressure, water flow of 1,300 litres per hour, a 500-litre onboard water tank, 30-metre low- and high-pressure hose reels, a 100-litre diesel tank, and a 20-metre extension high-pressure hose with coupling. The maintenance service covers the pressure-washer unit only, not the chassis. Delivery is for Wolverhampton City Council in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as goods, specifically high-pressure cleaning apparatus.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to MTH Cleaning Equipment Limited. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2029. Its value is £31,840 excluding VAT and £38,208 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The award covers the pressure washer, surface cleaner, hoses and associated maintenance service. The maintenance element provides two annual service visits, including routine service parts and lubricants; non-service parts are charged at the supplier’s current list price. The award date is not separately recorded, while the contract signing date establishes the procurement outcome.

This requirement demonstrates demand from a local authority for specialist mobile pressure-washing equipment combined with planned aftercare. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would need to provide towable hot-water diesel machinery, high operating pressure and substantial water flow, together with integrated water, diesel and hose-reel capacity. The specification also favours businesses able to supply compatible surface-cleaning equipment, extension hoses and quick-release couplings as a complete package rather than standalone equipment. Credible competitors would need to support scheduled servicing, provide routine parts and lubricants, distinguish serviceable components from chargeable non-service parts, and understand that maintenance may cover the pressure-washer unit without extending to the chassis. Relevant equipment supply and public-sector service experience would strengthen a future response.
