Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council procured four 26-tonne narrow refuse-collection vehicles for waste collection operations. This is a goods requirement for specialist heavy commercial vehicles, classified under CPV 34144511. Delivery is associated with the East of England, with the council based in Woodbridge, Suffolk. The requirement is identified as East Suffolk Council’s HGV Lot 1 under a TPPL and NEPO arrangement. The vehicles are narrow-bodied refuse-collection vehicles, so the opportunity concerns the manufacture, supply and delivery of complete operational vehicles rather than general vehicle hire, routine waste services or broad fleet management. The selected supplier was Dennis Eagle Limited, a large vehicle business based in Warwick.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Dennis Eagle Limited on 22 May 2026. The awarded value was £1,026,316, including the stated currency of GBP, for all four vehicles. The contract period ran from 23 May 2026 to 23 June 2026. The tender submission deadline was 14 May 2026. East Suffolk Council was the buyer and the tender status is complete. The process concerned one lot and was evaluated through a tender procedure. The award is recorded as active. The procurement’s stated value and the award value are the same, indicating that the selected supplier’s contract covered the full requirement at £1,026,316.

This award is most relevant to manufacturers and specialist distributors of refuse-collection vehicles, particularly businesses able to supply narrow 26-tonne vehicles for constrained routes or collection sites. A credible competitor would need to provide complete operational vehicles rather than individual components, manage production or sourcing for a four-vehicle order, and deliver to a public-sector buyer in the East of England. The requirement also shows that East Suffolk Council purchases through a structured tender route and that the relevant market includes established, large-scale vehicle suppliers. Businesses preparing for a future requirement of this type should be able to demonstrate dependable vehicle manufacture or supply, delivery coordination, technical compliance and the capacity to support a council fleet.
