Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ubico Limited bought 36 specialist food waste collection vehicles, with the requirement originally tendered for up to 43 vehicles. This is a goods procurement for specialist commercial vehicles, classified under CPV 34114000. The vehicles are intended for delivery in the South West of England, serving the operational needs of Ubico’s waste services. The requirement is specific to food waste collection rather than general fleet supply, so relevant businesses are manufacturers, vehicle bodybuilders, waste collection vehicle specialists, and commercial vehicle dealers able to supply purpose-built vehicles. Ubico Limited is based at Central Depot in Cheltenham and is the buying organisation for this procurement.

The tender is complete and was awarded to Terberg Matec UK Limited on 7 May 2026. The award value was £4,709,953.60. The contract period runs from 8 May 2026 to 8 June 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 April 2026. The procurement used a tender process, and the recorded procurement method detail is “Not specified”. The award is active. The contract covers 36 food waste vehicles, reduced from the originally stated maximum of 43. The buyer assessed the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Terberg Matec UK Limited is the named supplier.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Ubico for purpose-built food waste collection vehicles in the South West. Competitors seeking similar work would need to design, manufacture, configure or distribute specialist waste vehicles, with sufficient production and supply-chain capacity for a sizeable fleet requirement. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience delivering food waste collection equipment, understanding the operational requirements of waste services, and managing vehicle specification, assembly, quality control and delivery at fleet scale. The selected supplier is a large commercial vehicle business, indicating that comparable requirements may favour established organisations with specialist engineering capability, dependable manufacturing or distribution arrangements, and the resources to support a complex fleet supply programme for Ubico.
