Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured four new 7.5-tonne cage tipper vehicles with tail-lifts for frontline operational and service delivery. The vehicles are intended to transport and dispose of materials, equipment and waste. The supply includes delivery and commissioning, with each vehicle equipped with a tipper body, cage extensions and tail-lift functionality, and required to meet technical, safety and environmental standards. Delivery is in England. This is a vehicle supply requirement rather than a general transport service: relevant suppliers are those able to provide and commission compliant 7.5-tonne vehicles in the specified configuration.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Leicester City Council selected Guest Motors Limited, with an award dated 14 October 2026. The award value is £267,684. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2027. The estimated procurement value was £360,000. The submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 12:00. The process is recorded as using an “Other” method; the published information does not set out an evaluation basis or separate lots. The requirement was for four vehicles, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

For suppliers assessing future requirements from Leicester City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a small fleet of purpose-built 7.5-tonne cage tippers rather than standard vehicles. A credible competitor would need to supply new vehicles combining tipper bodies, cage extensions and tail-lift functionality, and ensure delivery and commissioning as part of the offer. The vehicles must meet the Council’s technical, safety and environmental standards and support reliable frontline operations involving the movement and disposal of materials, equipment and waste. Vehicle manufacturers, commercial vehicle dealers and specialist body or tail-lift providers able to deliver an integrated, compliant solution are the most relevant businesses. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers may be able to compete where they can meet the fleet and delivery requirements.
