Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the acquisition of a small split-bodied refuse truck was conducted by Dacorum Borough Council, a regional authority located in Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on refuse-collection vehicles for Cupid Green Depot. This process has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 4th April 2025. The procurement method used was limited, awarding the contract without a prior call for competition due to the unique circumstances surrounding a cancelled order. The contract, valued at £187,525, was awarded to NTM - GB Ltd.

This tender presents notable business opportunities, particularly for vehicle manufacturing and maintenance companies capable of producing or servicing refuse-collection vehicles. Businesses that can offer competitive pricing and swift production timelines would be well-suited for similar contracts, especially those able to capitalise on sudden market availability of cancelled orders, as seen in this procurement. Companies with a strong presence in the UK are likely to have an advantage due to regional familiarity and logistical considerations.

Purchase of a small split bodied refuse truck for Cupid Green Depot

Procurement Information

This refuse vehicle was ordered from NTM as there was a cancelled order on their production line, which reduced waiting times for Dacorum. The purchase was made due to an ageing vehicle within the fleet with high maintenance costs. A decision was taken to directly award the contract due to this and the reduced purchase costs associated with the cancelled order from another organisation.
