Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council, working with SWISCo, procured six new waste-haulage trailers for residual and food-waste transport in Torquay and the surrounding Torbay area. The requirement comprised four walking-floor articulated waste trailers and two food-waste trailers. This is a goods supply opportunity for trailer manufacturers, specialist commercial vehicle suppliers and businesses able to provide equipment suitable for waste collection and haulage operations. The trailers are intended to support SWISCo’s residual-waste and food-waste services. Both parts of the requirement were suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier, STAS Trailers Ltd, is recorded as an SME. The work involves supplying new trailers rather than operating the haulage service or providing routine waste-management services.

The procurement has reached award stage. Torbay Council used an above-threshold open procedure, with price weighted at 90% and social value at 10%. STAS Trailers Ltd was selected for both lots on 17 July 2026. Lot 1, four walking-floor articulated waste trailers, was awarded at £266,004 excluding VAT (£319,204.80 including VAT); Lot 2, two food-waste trailers, at £143,200 excluding VAT (£171,840 including VAT). Each awarded contract runs from 31 July to 2 November 2026. Lot 1 had a standstill period ending 29 July 2026, with signature scheduled for 30 July 2026. The tender required relevant policies, procedures and accreditations, financial capacity and the ability to obtain required insurance before delivery.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Torbay Council and SWISCo for new specialist trailers supporting both residual-waste and food-waste haulage. Suppliers best placed to compete in a future requirement would be able to manufacture or supply new walking-floor articulated trailers and food-waste trailers, understand the operating demands of waste transport, and provide equipment that meets the buyer’s technical specification. Credibility would also depend on documented policies and procedures, relevant accreditations, adequate financial capacity and the ability to secure the required insurance before delivery. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing is decisive, while a measurable and well-supported social value offer contributes to the outcome. SMEs can be suitable providers for this type of supply requirement.
