UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council purchased the supply and delivery of three specialist snow ploughs for winter road maintenance in Halton, delivered in the borough. This is a goods contract for snow-clearing equipment, rather than a broader winter maintenance service. The requirement is focused on specialist ploughs for the council’s operational needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was handled as a below-threshold procurement; the recorded method is described as unknown. There was one lot, covering the supply and delivery of three snow ploughs. Bucher Municipal Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £82,878.72 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October to 31 October 2026. The process data does not state an evaluation basis or eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing for a similar Halton Borough Council requirement, credibility depends on being able to supply specialist snow ploughs and deliver them to the borough for the council’s winter maintenance operations. The selected supplier was a large municipal equipment business, indicating that the purchase went to an established supplier in this market. Competitors should be positioned to meet a small, focused equipment order, with the commercial and logistical capability to provide three ploughs as a coordinated supply and delivery package. Experience supplying municipal customers and equipment suited to snow clearance would be directly relevant. The award indicates demand for dedicated snow-clearing machinery rather than a general fleet service or road maintenance contract.
