Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process involves Durham County Council seeking to acquire a gully emptier, specifically an 18-tonne model, under Lot 5 of the NEPO contract category. The procurement, classified within the goods industry, is located in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The contract has entered the award stage, with Whale Tankers Limited as the successful supplier, receiving an active award valued at £268,634. The contract period commences on 25th March 2026 and concludes on 25th April 2026. Although the tender details are not specified, it was completed by 6th February 2026. Buyers and suppliers were engaged under tender initiation, with Durham County Council and Whale Tankers Limited playing pivotal roles in this procurement.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying heavy-duty vehicles, particularly gully emptiers. While the contract has been awarded to Whale Tankers Limited, organisations with competitive offerings in similar or related categories could position themselves for future tenders. Businesses of larger scales, such as other established manufacturers, might see growth potential through collaboration with local councils like Durham County Council, whose contact point is Iain Peverall. The focus on large-scale suppliers suggests that firms with expansive operations and resources would be well-suited to engage in future opportunities of similar scope within the public sector.
