Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ubico Limited is buying 14 refuse collection vehicles for waste collection operations. The requirement is for goods rather than services or works, covering specialist refuse-collection vehicles (CPV 34144511). Delivery is to the South West of England. The tender title identifies the requirement as part of the NEPO HGV Lot 2 arrangement and records that the original requirement allowed for up to 18 vehicles, although the procurement covers 14. Ubico Limited is the buyer, based at its Central Depot in Cheltenham. The opportunity is therefore relevant to vehicle manufacturers, specialist commercial vehicle dealers, bodybuilders, fleet suppliers and businesses able to provide complete refuse collection vehicles for public or contracted waste-management operations in the South West. Its focus is vehicle supply rather than general waste collection, fleet servicing or unrelated transport equipment.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Ubico Limited selected NTM-GB Limited as the supplier on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £2,887,448.20, covering the 14 refuse collection vehicles. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026. The procurement is recorded as a tender for goods, under the NEPO HGV Lot 2 arrangement. The original requirement was for up to 18 vehicles, but the completed award is for 14. The award is active. The buyer’s recorded suitability assessment states that the opportunity was not aimed at small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lot-level awards are recorded.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Ubico, this award demonstrates a requirement for a sizeable, concentrated purchase of specialist refuse collection vehicles rather than a small or occasional equipment order. A credible competitor would need the capacity to supply multiple complete vehicles, coordinate delivery within a short operational window and meet the technical requirements associated with refuse collection fleets. Relevant experience would include supplying heavy commercial vehicles to waste-management operators, local authorities or their contractors, together with the ability to manage fleet-scale orders and public-sector procurement processes. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that scale and delivery capability were relevant to the competitive market. Businesses currently supplying refuse vehicles, or able to partner with manufacturers and fleet-service providers, are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
