Summary of the contracting process

The Buckinghamshire Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the electrification of a Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV). The Request for Information (RFI) aims to gather insights ahead of a future tender and is part of a broader initiative funded by a £578,000 grant from the DEFRA Air Quality Grant scheme. Key dates include the engagement end date on 4th August 2022. The project falls under the heavy-duty motor vehicles category, specifically for operations in Aylesbury, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in electric vehicle technology, waste management solutions, and automotive parts manufacturing. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit from the forthcoming competitive tender process, as the project seeks innovative approaches to meet the electrification and operational efficiency goals of the council. Companies with expertise in telematics systems, spare parts provision, and maintenance training would be well-suited to participate in this procurement opportunity.
