Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of five 3.5-tonne crew cab tippers, a project under the title "GB-Durham: TPPL Durham County Council HCC Lot 2 - 5 x 3.5t Crew Cab Tippers (29590)". Classified within the industry category of goods, specifically tippers under CPV code 34134200, the contract is valued at £205,320.95. The procurement falls under the award stage, with the award date documented as 28th May 2026 and publication on 2nd June 2026. The delivery location for these goods is the North East region of the United Kingdom, and the contract is set to run from 29th May 2026 to 29th June 2026. The procurement method details were not specified.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses in the automotive and commercial vehicle sectors, particularly those specialising in heavy-duty vehicles like tipper trucks. While the contract was awarded to Lookers Group, a large-scale supplier, similar tenders can be lucrative for automotive enterprises capable of supplying customised commercial vehicles. Companies with a robust logistics and supply chain network in the North East region could find future similar opportunities beneficial for expanding their market presence and establishing relationships with local authorities like Durham County Council. However, this specific procurement was not aiming for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for larger-scale suppliers.
