Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council is procuring tyre supply, fitting, repair and associated services for its Fleet Service Department. The requirement covers a mixed fleet of approximately 150 vehicles and items of grounds-maintenance equipment, including refuse collection vehicles, caged tippers, commercial vans up to 3.5 tonnes, trucks and dustcarts, tractors, trailers, mowers, JCB loading shovels, dumpers and forklifts. The work supports the Council’s waste, commercial transport, vehicle maintenance and grounds-maintenance operations. Services are delivered for the Council’s vehicles managed at the Vehicle Maintenance Unit at Cupid Green Depot, Redbourn Road, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. The procurement combines goods and services, covering heavy and light vehicle tyres and tyre repair, fitting and balancing. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached award stage following an open procedure. One lot has been awarded to Central Tyre (Commercial) Ltd at £400,000 gross. The award was made on 6 August 2026 and has a standstill period ending 17 August 2026; contract signature is scheduled for 18 August 2026. The contract is due to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible one-year extensions, giving a maximum end date of 30 September 2031. The original estimated value was £458,333 excluding VAT, or £550,000 including VAT. Evaluation allocated 60% to quality and 40% to price. Three bids were received, with two reaching the final stage, including two from SMEs.

This award shows established demand from a borough council operating a sizeable, varied municipal fleet, rather than a single vehicle type. A credible future supplier would need to provide and fit tyres across refuse collection vehicles, trucks, vans, agricultural and grounds-maintenance equipment, plant and materials-handling vehicles, while also delivering responsive repair, balancing, inspection and maintenance support. Relevant capability includes handling commercial and heavy-duty tyres, servicing vehicles up to and beyond van size, and supporting a mixed fleet used by waste, environmental and grounds teams. The successful competition included SME participation, indicating that a specialist independent supplier can compete where it can demonstrate dependable coverage, workshop or mobile fitting capacity, stock availability, service responsiveness and strong quality performance alongside competitive pricing.
