The procurement falls under the industry category of "Vehicles for refuse and sewage" and is located in the UKC12 region. Currently, in the award stage, the tender was completed via a mini-competition under the NEPO224 framework agreement. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Bell Truck Sales Ltd (t/a Bell Truck & Van) on 8th July 2025, with the contract valued at £3,261,492 GBP.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of heavy goods vehicles, as well as those involved in providing specialist vehicles for public services. Companies with capabilities in manufacturing or supply chain management of refuse and sewage collection vehicles, especially those with experience in framework agreements, are well-positioned to compete. Given the emphasis on quality (60%) and price (40%) as award criteria, firms that can demonstrate a blend of high-quality standards with cost-effective solutions will be highly competitive in such procurement opportunities.
