## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by St Helens Council was for the purchase of a woodchipper, categorised under the goods industry with the specific classification of specialist vehicles. The procurement was conducted directly without competition, as it fell below the threshold requirements. The entire process has reached the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 5th November 2025 and spanning a single day on 6th November 2025. The contract was awarded to Vermeer UK, located in Wellingborough, United Kingdom, and the goods will be delivered in the region of UKD7. The gross value of the contract amounted to £64,200, with a net amount of £53,500.

Businesses in the small and medium enterprise (SME) category, particularly those capable of direct contracting without competitive bidding, could find similar procurements appealing for growth. The contract awarded to Vermeer UK highlights the business potential present in securing government contracts within the public authority sector, specifically within sub-central government procurements managed by councils like St Helens. Such opportunities could help businesses expand their government contracting portfolios and increase their market presence in the public sector.
