Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council procured tyre supply, fitting and repair for its Fleet Service Department. The service supports a mixed fleet of about 150 vehicles maintained at Cupid Green Depot in Hemel Hempstead, including refuse collection vehicles, caged tippers, vans and grounds-maintenance equipment. The requirement covers cars and light vans, commercial vans up to 3.5 tonnes, trucks and dustcarts, tractors, trailers, mowers, JCB loading shovels and other plant such as dumpers and forklifts. The work is for vehicles used in commercial transport, waste and refuse collection, and grounds maintenance. This combines the supply of tyres with fitting and repair services for a varied council fleet.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Central Tyre (Commercial) Ltd. Dacorum Borough Council used an open procedure. The award was made on 6 August 2026 for £400,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026 and runs from 20 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two optional one-year extensions. There was one lot, and the tender was suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Three bids were received, with two reaching the final stage; both final-stage bids came from SMEs.

This award demonstrates demand for an integrated tyre supplier able to provide stock, fitting and repair across a varied operational fleet, from light vehicles and vans to refuse trucks, agricultural machinery and plant. Credible competitors would need the capacity to support vehicles used in waste collection and grounds maintenance, and to deliver services at the council’s Hemel Hempstead depot. The two SME bids reaching the final stage show that smaller businesses can compete for this kind of requirement. A strong future offer would need to demonstrate service quality as well as competitive pricing, since quality carried greater evaluation weight than price. Suppliers with relevant commercial-vehicle tyre expertise and the operational reach to maintain mixed fleets are best placed to meet the requirement when it returns to market.
