UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has concluded the procurement process for the acquisition of six used 26-tonne refuse collection vehicles. This procurement falls under the "goods" category and has been awarded under a direct award method following a failed initial procurement process, in line with the Procurement Act 2023. The award notice was published on 17 December 2025, with the standstill period ending on 30 December 2025. The contract runs from 31 December 2025 until 19 June 2026. The buyer organisation operates as a sub-central government authority in Southampton, UK, with the vehicles being intended for use across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the vehicle supply and waste management industries, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given the suitability classification attached to the award. Companies specialising in vehicle procurement, especially those supplying refuse and sewage vehicles, would be well-positioned to engage in similar procurement processes, potentially expanding their market presence and strengthening relationships with local government bodies. Endurance Vehicle Solutions Limited, an SME based in Chepstow, has been successful in securing this contract, showcasing its capabilities and reinforcing its standing in the industry.
