Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ubico Limited procured 33 refuse-collection vehicles, each with a 26-tonne capacity. These are heavy goods vehicles intended for refuse collection operations. The procurement title identifies the requirement as the TPPL Ubico (Wiltshire Council) NEPO HGV Lot 2 purchase, and the original requirement was for up to 87 vehicles before being reduced to 33. The stated delivery area is the South West of England. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or works contract, classified under CPV 34144511 for refuse-collection vehicles. The requirement is therefore relevant to vehicle manufacturers, specialist waste-collection vehicle distributors and suppliers able to provide heavy refuse vehicles for public or municipal waste operations in the South West.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The tender deadline was 31 March 2026, and the contract was awarded to Dennis Eagle Limited on 7 May 2026. The awarded value was £10,414,899. The contract period ran from 8 May 2026 to 8 June 2026. Ubico Limited was the buyer, and Dennis Eagle Limited was the selected supplier. The tender’s stated maximum value was also £10,414,899. It was run as a tender for goods, under the NEPO HGV Lot 2 arrangement identified in the title. The requirement covered 33 vehicles, following an original requirement for up to 87. The published suitability assessment marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates substantial demand from Ubico Limited for heavy refuse-collection vehicles, with the requirement ultimately fulfilled by a large specialist supplier. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to manufacture or distribute 26-tonne refuse-collection vehicles and support the operational needs of municipal waste services. Relevant strengths would include proven capability in heavy vehicle supply, production or fleet capacity for multiple units, dependable delivery and after-sales support, and experience working with public-sector or waste-management operators. The stated SME and VCSE suitability assessments indicate that comparable opportunities are likely to favour established, larger businesses with the financial, manufacturing and delivery capacity to handle sizeable vehicle orders.
