Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset Council bought two MVC 4x2 gully tanker vehicles with an 18-tonne gross vehicle weight, mounted on DAF XB chassis. The vehicles are classified as tankers and are intended for delivery in South West England. The requirement was originally tendered for one vehicle and was subsequently changed to two. Dorset Council is based in Dorchester and is the public-sector buyer. This is a goods supply requirement rather than a works or service contract, suited to businesses involved in manufacturing, supplying, configuring or distributing heavy commercial vehicles and specialist tanker equipment. The specification points to complete, road-going vehicles rather than a general vehicle hire, maintenance or consultancy requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Bucher Municipal Ltd on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £499,420. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 12 February 2026. The recorded procurement method detail is “Not specified”. The award covers two MVC 4x2 gully tankers, each with an 18-tonne gross vehicle weight and DAF XB chassis. The award is active and the tender status is complete. Dorset Council’s original requirement for one vehicle was therefore expanded to two before the award. Bucher Municipal Ltd is the named supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Dorset Council for specialist heavy commercial vehicles configured as gully tankers, at a scale requiring delivery of multiple complete units rather than a single standard vehicle. The selected supplier, Bucher Municipal Ltd, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by a supplier with substantial manufacturing, integration or distribution capacity. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitable 4x2 heavy vehicle chassis, the ability to provide 18-tonne tanker vehicles, and capability to deliver compliant, fully configured units. Businesses with specialist municipal vehicle production, tanker-body integration, fleet supply or established commercial-vehicle distribution are the closest fit.
