Summary of the contracting process

Preston City Council procured one 16-tonne road sweeper for delivery in the North West of England. This is a goods purchase rather than a service or construction project, intended to support road-cleaning operations. The vehicle is classified under CPV 34921100, covering road sweepers. The buying organisation is Preston City Council, based in Preston, Lancashire. The requirement is for a single heavy goods vehicle, so it is relevant to manufacturers, specialist vehicle dealers, authorised distributors and suppliers able to provide road-sweeping equipment of this capacity. Businesses offering general cleaning services, light commercial vehicles or unrelated municipal equipment are unlikely to find this requirement relevant. The selected supplier is Stock Sweepers Limited.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Stock Sweepers Limited on 7 September 2026. The awarded value is £187,842.52. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 8 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026. The requirement covered one 16-tonne road sweeper for Preston City Council, with the award recorded as active and the overall tender recorded as complete. The contracting process used a tender initiation route, and the procurement category was goods. The award was made to a single supplier for the full requirement. No separate lot awards or additional contract values are recorded.

For suppliers assessing future municipal vehicle requirements, this procurement demonstrates demand from Preston City Council for a heavy-duty road sweeper supplied as a complete vehicle purchase. A credible competitor would need access to 16-tonne road-sweeping equipment, the ability to supply a vehicle rather than only provide operational sweeping services, and sufficient commercial capacity to manage a high-value single-vehicle order. Relevant businesses include specialist sweeper manufacturers, distributors, dealers and fleet-equipment suppliers with established public-sector sales capability. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that comparable opportunities may favour businesses able to support vehicle specification, delivery, documentation and after-sales arrangements at scale. Experience supplying councils or other fleet operators would strengthen a future response.
