## Summary

Wiltshire Norse Limited procured the hire of heavy-duty plant and machinery for its Materials Recycling Facility (MRF). The requirement covers supplying plant and machinery for use at the facility, together with scheduled servicing and repairs during the hire. The purpose was to provide the equipment needed to mobilise and operate the site. The work is managed by Norse Commercial Services Limited, acting as the procuring organisation. This is a services requirement involving specialist vehicles, plant and machinery maintenance, and associated vehicle repair services. The named supplier is based in Gloucester, while the equipment and related support are required for Wiltshire Norse’s Materials Recycling Facility. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate service areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Smith's (Gloucester) Limited. It was made by direct award, below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026, awarded for a 12-month period running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £190,944. The award covers the single plant-hire package, including servicing and repairs. The contracting process states that a competitive tender process will be conducted at the end of the 12-month hire period for a public contract. Evaluation was therefore through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is recorded as active and the award as active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Wiltshire Norse for a supplier able to provide heavy-duty plant and machinery on hire, support mobilisation of a Materials Recycling Facility, and keep the equipment operational through scheduled servicing and repairs. Credible competitors would need access to suitable specialist vehicles and plant, the operational capacity to provide them as a package, and maintenance capability covering both vehicles and machinery. The awarded supplier is a large business, indicating that scale and the ability to combine equipment supply with responsive aftercare were relevant commercial strengths. Firms preparing for a future requirement of this type should be able to evidence reliable plant availability, in-house or managed repair provision, servicing arrangements and experience supporting recycling-facility operations.
