Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council procured two 7.5-tonne refuse collection vehicles fitted with K-series bodies. The requirement is for the supply of specified refuse-collection vehicles for the councils’ waste services. This is a goods procurement, classified under CPV 34144511, and delivery is required in the East of England. The buyer is the combined council organisation serving the East Suffolk area. The vehicles are the central and specific output of the requirement, rather than a wider vehicle fleet, maintenance service or waste-management operation. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are manufacturers, specialist vehicle bodybuilders, authorised distributors and suppliers able to provide this type of refuse-collection vehicle to a public-sector waste service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 May 2026 at 4pm, and the award date was 30 July 2026. NTM-GB LTD was awarded the contract for £268,572. The contract period runs from 30 June 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award covers the requirement as a single procurement, with no separate lot outcomes recorded. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open competition. The awarded value is the value for this contract and is stated in pounds sterling. The award is active, confirming that a supplier has been selected.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for purpose-built refuse collection vehicles within the East Suffolk council area. A credible future competitor would need to supply 7.5-tonne vehicles with the specified K-series body configuration, understand the operational needs of council waste collection and deliver compliant vehicles to public-sector requirements. The purchasing route is significant: the buyer used a selective framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework and the ability to compete under its terms. The incumbent is a large specialist supplier, indicating that capability to manufacture or source this vehicle type, manage specification-led orders and support a council fleet will be important when this requirement returns to market.
