This process falls into the sector of motor vehicles, particularly focusing on road-maintenance and gritter vehicles. The procurement method was a direct award, and it has now reached the award stage, with the contract being active as of 19th December 2025. Key locations involved include Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement process started with the tender period ending on 12th December 2025, and the contractual period set to commence from 12th December 2025 to 11th December 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for large enterprises involved in the manufacture and supply of motor vehicles, specifically those focusing on road-maintenance equipment such as gritters. It provides a platform for growth through direct engagement with public sector clients like Leeds City Council.
