The buying organisation is located in Leicester, England, and the items will be delivered to the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The award phase has been reached, indicating that the process has been completed, and the contract is active with a start date of 9th June 2025, running until 8th December 2025. This tender was under the NEPO224 framework, relevant for HGV, specialist vehicles, and waste supplies, with the aim of providing containers to facilitate food waste transfer by collection authorities.
