Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured 12 front-line refuse collection vehicles for its waste collection operations. The requirement was for one 18-tonne domestic split-lift vehicle, nine 26-tonne domestic split-lift vehicles and two 26-tonne trade-lift vehicles, all diesel-fuelled. This is a vehicle supply opportunity in the refuse-collection vehicle market, classified under CPV 34144511. Delivery is for the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council area in the United Kingdom. The council required a single supplier to provide the complete vehicle requirement, rather than separate suppliers for different vehicle types. Businesses operating in specialist municipal vehicle manufacture, supply or distribution would therefore be the closest commercial fit.

The procurement is complete and awarded through a single lot using an above-threshold open procedure. The tender deadline was 8 June 2026 at 14:00, enquiries closed on 21 May 2026 at 17:00, and the award decision was dated 16 July 2026. The standstill period ended on 29 July 2026 at 23:59, and the contract was signed on 28 August 2026. The estimated value was £3,060,000 excluding VAT (£3,672,000 including VAT). DENNIS EAGLE LIMITED was awarded the contract for £3,173,756 excluding VAT (£3,808,507 including VAT). The award period was recorded as 1 April to 31 July 2027; the signed contract period as 1 June to 31 August 2027. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%.

This outcome shows demand from BCP Council for a complete, specialist refuse-vehicle fleet rather than an isolated vehicle purchase. A credible future competitor would need to supply diesel-powered split-lift refuse collection vehicles across both domestic and trade-lift configurations, with capacity to deliver 18-tonne and 26-tonne vehicles as one supplier. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the only final-stage bidder was a large business, indicating that proven manufacturing, distribution or fleet-supply capability may matter in practice. Suppliers should be able to evidence consistent vehicle quality, reliable delivery and competitive pricing, since quality was the dominant evaluation factor. Performance against being on time, quality and price was also identified as a contract metric.
