Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has completed a procurement process for the fleet replacement of 10 x 3.5t tippers, categorised under special-purpose motor vehicles. The contract, awarded on 1st April 2025, was executed using a limited procurement method and falls under the goods industry category. The primary location for the delivery is Southampton, within the UK. The procurement process was managed without prior publication of a call for competition, under the rationale that it falls outside the scope of application of the directive. The supplier chosen for this contract is Lookers Group Fleet, based in Altrincham, and the awarded contract is valued at £456,700.55.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the production and supply of special-purpose vehicles, especially those who are well-integrated with procurement frameworks such as the TPPL. The direct award route can be particularly advantageous for suppliers with pre-established relationships with the contracting authority. Larger suppliers or those with the capability to deliver substantial fleets will find this contract particularly well-suited to their expertise and resources, potentially leading to further procurement opportunities with the council.
