Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for the supply of two 26-tonne narrow refuse collection vehicles under the NEPO224 Framework. The buying organisation is a regional authority located in Darlington, UK, with the procurement focusing on specialist vehicles within the goods category. The procurement method employed was limited, proceeding without prior publication of a call for competition. The process reached the award stage on 23 February 2026, with a contract signed for £531,250 with Dennis Eagle Limited, the sole supplier.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of specialist vehicles, particularly large enterprises like Dennis Eagle Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Companies experienced in delivering high-quality, cost-efficient vehicles can find lucrative prospects in similar tenders where 70% of the evaluation criteria was based on price and 30% on quality. As the procurement was not open to new competition, businesses already included in frameworks like NEPO224 might benefit from similar future opportunities. The delivery location in the UKC13 region offers potential for logistical collaborations.
