Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council procured ten 26-tonne refuse collection vehicles for outright purchase. The vehicles are intended for demanding waste-collection operations covering domestic, recyclable and trade waste held in wheeled bins and containers from 120 to 1,280 litres. The supply includes ancillary lifting equipment, which must deliver strong performance and durability. This is a goods requirement for refuse-collection vehicles, with the vehicles to support the council’s waste services in Stoke-on-Trent. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, vehicle bodybuilders, specialist waste-collection vehicle suppliers and providers able to integrate compatible lifting equipment. The requirement is for a complete vehicle supply rather than a service-only waste operation, so suppliers should be able to provide robust operational vehicles and associated equipment as a coordinated package.

The procurement is complete: one lot was awarded to DENNIS EAGLE LIMITED on 20 July 2026, following an open procedure. The award value was £2,350,000 excluding VAT (£2,820,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and has a value of £2,713,930 excluding VAT (£3,256,716 including VAT). The contract period runs from 3 May 2027 to 2 May 2032. The tender submission deadline was 10 June 2026 at 11:00, and the planned award period ended on 8 July 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Two bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. A standstill period ended on 30 July 2026.

This award demonstrates a substantial, long-term requirement for specialist refuse-collection vehicles within Stoke-on-Trent’s council waste operation. A credible future competitor would need to supply 26-tonne vehicles designed for intensive collection work across domestic, recyclable and trade waste streams, including compatibility with a wide range of wheeled-bin and container sizes. Capability to provide and integrate ancillary lifting equipment is central to the requirement, as is demonstrable durability and reliable performance in demanding operating conditions. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so suppliers should be able to evidence engineering quality, whole-life reliability, operational suitability and support for the complete vehicle-and-lifting-equipment package. The procurement route was an open procedure, with competition from established large-scale supply capability.
