Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by East Dunbartonshire Council focuses on acquiring "7.5T Refuse Collection Vehicles" specifically for food collection purposes. Under CPV classification 34144511 for refuse-collection vehicles, the tender falls within the goods industry category. Located in Hilton Depot, Bishopbriggs, within the region UKM81, the procurement process follows an open procedure. The procurement has advanced to the award stage as of August 2025, with an active contract value of £234,550 awarded to Farid Hillend Engineering Limited. The award was signed on 8th August 2025, aligning with the procurement timeline and the initial tender period deadline of 4th July 2025.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for companies specialising in vehicle manufacturing, particularly those with expertise in waste management solutions. The procurement favours businesses capable of delivering high-quality refuse-collection vehicles while balancing price competitiveness, as indicated by the award criteria with a weightage of 70% on price and 30% on quality. Given the procurement's open nature and the requirement for electronic submission, firms with a strong financial standing, suitable experience, and the necessary insurance coverage are well-positioned to compete. This is especially relevant for SMEs, as demonstrated by the successful bid from Farid Hillend Engineering Limited, an SME, reinforcing the council's support for small and medium enterprises within its procurement strategy.
