Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Via East Midlands Limited procured one 18-tonne crane lorry, classified as a specialist vehicle, for use in the East Midlands. The requirement is for a complete heavy goods vehicle with an integrated crane rather than general haulage, vehicle rental or routine maintenance services. The buying organisation is Via East Midlands Limited, based at its Bilsthorpe Depot. The procurement falls within the goods category and relates to the supply of a purpose-built or suitably configured vehicle for the buyer’s operational activities. The title identifies this as HGV Lot 1 under the TPPL via NEPO route, indicating that the requirement sits within a wider heavy goods vehicle purchasing arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Volvo Group UK Ltd on 14 July 2026. The awarded value is £164,164, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 15 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2026. One supplier is recorded as having been selected. The procurement used a tender process and was for goods. The award is active. It is identified as Lot 1 for one 18-tonne crane lorry. The recorded suitability assessment states that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award value matches the original estimated tender value.

This award demonstrates demand from Via East Midlands Limited for specialist heavy goods vehicles with lifting equipment, and identifies the type and scale of vehicle bought by the organisation. Suppliers best placed for a comparable future requirement would be established HGV manufacturers, authorised commercial vehicle dealers, specialist crane-lorry builders and vehicle integrators able to provide an 18-tonne chassis with a compliant, operational crane installation. Credibility would come from a strong track record supplying municipal, highways or infrastructure operators, the ability to configure and deliver complete vehicles, and reliable after-sales support, servicing and parts provision. The recorded outcome also indicates competition was won by a large supplier, so smaller businesses would need demonstrable capacity, relevant vehicle expertise and a credible delivery and support model.
