## Summary

Exeter City Council, a sub-central government public authority, recently completed a procurement process for the acquisition of a refurbished baler tailored for plastic recycling. This tender, identified as "CR 2041," was conducted through a direct procurement method that bypassed formal competition due to it being below the financial threshold. South West Compactor Services, based in Plymouth, was awarded the contract, which was officially signed on 22nd December 2025. The contract period commenced on 1st January 2026 and ended on 31st January 2026, with a financial commitment of £35,000 net, totalling £42,000 gross. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category and targets the recycling equipment industry within the UKK4 region, covering Exeter and its surroundings.

This procurement presents lucrative opportunities for businesses dealing in industrial recycling equipment, especially SMEs like South West Compactor Services, who are well-suited to deliver specialised machinery solutions. Companies within the recycling sector can benefit significantly from engaging in such tenders as they provide a stable clientele in public authorities. Additionally, the straightforward procurement method applied in this tender process suggests a streamlined approach for suppliers looking to establish or expand their presence in public sector projects within the southwest region of the UK.
