## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council undertook a public procurement process for the purchase of one environmentally friendly wheel loader, including repair and maintenance services, intended for use at the Council's Waste Transfer Station located on Crown Street in Wolverhampton. The procurement falls under the industry category of transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation. The tendering process concluded successfully, with the contract awarded on 6 March 2025, and the procurement stage is now in the award phase. This limited procurement was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition due to certain regulatory considerations. The awarded contract, valued at £220,000, was granted to Warwick Ward (Machinery) Limited, a supplier based in Barnsley.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of heavy machinery and related maintenance services. Companies with expertise in providing environmentally friendly and efficient transport equipment could find this contract particularly advantageous for business growth. The contract instance suggests that similar future opportunities may be accessible, ensuring a steady demand for experienced suppliers within this sector.

### Procurement Information

The Council published a notice calling for competition on the Contracts Finder website on 1 August 2024 (Titled: CWC23178B - Purchase of 1 x Wheel Loader inc. R&M) (https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8418f98f-dda1-41fe-96a0-934931119b47) and received 5 tenders of which 2 were compliant. 3 tenders were rejected as non-compliant. The Council completed the procurement process and awarded a contract to the economic operator identified in this contract award notice. However, the Council subsequently identified that in error the Council had failed to select the correct settings within the procurement portal to have a contract notice published on the Find a Tender Service website. The Council considered whether to conclude the procurement processes notwithstanding that accidental omission and concluded that it was rational to do so on the following basis: 1) The Council provided transparency to the supplier market by publishing a notice on the Contracts Finder website. The Council considers that it is likely that suppliers wishing to deliver and supply services in England registered to Find a Tender Service would also register to Contracts Finder and would have identified the existence of the opportunity as a result. 2) The Council received tenders from 5 suppliers and concludes that therefore the Contracts Finder notice was effective in making the opportunity known in the market. 3) Taking all of the above factors into account the Council concluded that it has tested the market and advertised the opportunity to participate in the procurement sufficiently that it was rational for the Council to conclude the contracts and that it would have been disproportionate to abandon the procurement.
