Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn With Darwen Borough Council has completed the procurement process for purchasing refuse collection vehicles, specifically two units, under the industry category of refuse-collection vehicles. The procurement, initiated through a direct award, was processed using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The award was granted to Dennis Eagle Limited and is registered under ID 033412-2026.
