Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "CC13997 - x4 6x4 Artic Units" was conducted by West Lothian Council, a regional authority based in Livingston, United Kingdom. This tender falls within the industry category for "Vehicle bodies, trailers or semi-trailers" and was part of their strategic efforts to replace older vehicles used in waste transportation. The procurement method was limited, with the contract awarded without prior publication of a competitive call due to it being under the TPPL Heavy Goods Vehicle Framework Agreement Reference NEPO224. The contract was successfully awarded on 6th August 2025 to Volvo Truck and Bus Centre North & Scotland, and is valued at £558,000. The procurement stage has been marked as complete, with the final contract status as active.

This awarded contract presents significant business growth opportunities for companies operating within the vehicle manufacturing and supply industry, particularly those specialising in heavy goods vehicles suitable for waste transport. Businesses with the capability to offer innovative, efficient vehicle solutions, or those looking to enter or expand within the UK market, especially in regions like Scotland, would find opportunities to partner with local councils on similar projects. The procurement highlights the continued demand for updated vehicle fleets in public services, suggesting that suppliers with a keen focus on durable construction equipment or environmentally-friendly transport solutions could find a profitable niche in future tenders.
