Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council bought four 3.5-tonne caged tipper vehicles, each fitted with tool pods. This is a vehicle supply requirement for the council, classified as goods. The listed delivery location is the North East of England. The vehicles are intended to provide caged tipping capacity with tool storage; no further operational purpose or vehicle specification is described in the procurement information.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lookers Group. The award was made on 8 September 2026, with the contract period running from 9 September to 9 October 2026. The awarded value was £217,699.12. The earlier tender deadline was 10 June 2026. The procurement information identifies a single requirement for four vehicles and records the council’s estimated tender value at the same amount as the award. The data does not state an evaluation basis or explain the procedure used to select the supplier.

This award shows Newcastle City Council’s demand for a small fleet of 3.5-tonne caged tippers equipped with tool pods, with delivery in the North East. Suppliers positioned to compete when this specific vehicle requirement returns would need to provide vehicles matching that configuration and support delivery to the council’s area. The selected supplier was a large business, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. That indicates the buyer’s stated suitability assessment favoured suppliers with the scale to fulfil the requirement, though no particular accreditation, technical standard or past-performance qualification is recorded.
