Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council, a regional authority based in Hemel Hempstead, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of 11 narrow body refuse collection lorries. The tender is categorised under the goods industry with a specific focus on refuse-collection vehicles. The procurement was executed through a limited method, specifically without a prior publication of a call for competition, awarded under the TPPL Framework. The process was concluded with the contract being signed on 13th January 2026, with Dennis Eagle, a large-scale supplier based in Warwick, as the successful awardee. This procurement falls within the Eastern region of the United Kingdom, defined by the delivery address region UKH2, and adheres to the regulations set out under the CELEX scheme.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in manufacturing or supplying refuse-collection vehicles, due to the high-value contract secured. While the procurement method was limited and involved no competitive bid publication, similar opportunities may arise through close monitoring of the TPPL Framework. Businesses with capabilities in producing specialised municipal vehicles and looking to expand within regional UK authorities could see potential benefits. Moreover, larger-scale suppliers with a strong foothold in the UK or those aiming to partner with regional councils for large transport solutions might find similar future procurements appealing.
