Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Borough Council is procuring refurbishment services for refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) used in its waste collection service. The requirement covers vehicle repair, maintenance and associated services, with the work supporting the council’s operational waste fleet. Delivery is in England. This is a vehicle-services opportunity rather than a purchase of new vehicles or general waste-management services. Businesses should assess whether they can refurbish RCVs to the specification in the tender documents and support their use within a local-authority waste collection operation. The council is the buying organisation and its stated service purpose is the continued use of refurbished RCVs in the Cheshire East Council Waste Collection Service.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure above the threshold. Bids had to be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The resulting contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. Its estimated total value is £1,100,000, including VAT status as stated in the procurement data. The procurement is for services and is presented as a single requirement for the refurbishment of RCVs. The tender documents contain the detailed requirements and basis on which offers will be assessed. The opportunity is identified as vehicle repair, maintenance and associated services, under CPV 50100000.

This opportunity is suited to businesses with practical capability in refurbishing refuse collection vehicles and maintaining specialist waste-collection fleets. Relevant suppliers are likely to include commercial vehicle refurbishment firms, fleet engineering businesses and vehicle repair specialists able to work on RCVs and return them to service. The requirement may also suit small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the procurement identifies as suitable organisation types. Businesses should consider whether their workshop facilities, engineering workforce, equipment, supply chain and quality controls are sufficient for a local-authority waste service requirement. Experience of heavy commercial vehicles, municipal fleets or refuse-collection equipment would help suppliers judge the fit of their existing operations against the tender documents.
