Summary of the contracting process

Bristol Waste Company procured 50 specialist recycling vehicles for use in its waste-management operations. The requirement was originally described as 46 vehicles and was subsequently recorded as 50. This is a goods procurement for specialist vehicles, classified under CPV 34114000. Delivery is associated with the South West of England, with the buying organisation based on Albert Road in Bristol. The opportunity is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, specialist commercial-vehicle dealers, recycling-vehicle bodybuilders and fleet suppliers able to provide purpose-built vehicles for waste collection or recycling services. It concerns the supply of a substantial vehicle fleet rather than vehicle maintenance, general transport services or construction works.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Terberg Matec UK Limited. The award date was 26 June 2026, for £12,000,000. The contract period runs from 27 June 2026 to 27 July 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 February 2026. The process used a tender, but its detailed procurement method is not identified. The published requirement covered 50 recycling vehicles, although the original tender was for 46. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lot-level awards or evaluation weightings are recorded.

This award demonstrates Bristol Waste Company’s demand for a large, specialist recycling-vehicle fleet and shows that the requirement was fulfilled by a large commercial supplier. Businesses considering future work for this buyer would need credible capacity to manufacture, source or configure specialist recycling vehicles at fleet scale, together with the operational capability to manage delivery of multiple vehicles. Relevant competitors are likely to include established vehicle manufacturers, commercial-vehicle distributors and specialist waste-equipment suppliers with experience of public-sector or municipal fleet requirements. The recorded SME suitability outcome indicates that smaller firms may need substantial delivery capacity, a consortium arrangement or a clearly defined specialist role to compete effectively when a comparable requirement returns.
