Summary of the contracting process

Boston Borough Council procured works to introduce an on-site vehicle washing facility at St John’s Road Depot, Boston, PE21 6BE. The depot is the Council’s dedicated base for its refuse collection fleet and sits within an established industrial estate. The requirement covers construction and installation works for the facility, rather than an ongoing vehicle-washing service. Boston Borough Council is the buyer, with Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd providing procurement support. Delivery is associated with the Boston depot in Lincolnshire. The opportunity is therefore relevant to construction contractors and installation specialists able to deliver site-based infrastructure for operational vehicle fleets, particularly refuse and municipal service vehicles.

The procurement is complete and contracts were signed on 13 July 2026 following a below-threshold open competition. It was structured as one lot, with an estimated value of £140,000 net (£168,000 gross). Two suppliers were awarded work separately. Glen Farrow UK Ltd received a contract worth £88,790 net (£106,548 gross), running from 13 July to 30 September 2026. Vere Bros (Contractors) Limited received a contract worth £61,236 net (£73,483.20 gross), running from 13 July to 21 August 2026. The tender deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 12 June 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation weighted price at 65%, quality at 30% and social value at 5%.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for construction and installation of specialist washing infrastructure at a refuse fleet depot. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering comparable site works, coordinating installation activities and working safely in an operational industrial setting. The requirement would suit construction firms, civil engineering contractors and specialist vehicle-wash or depot-equipment installers able to manage the full delivery interface between building works and installed systems. Tenderers would also need to present a strong quality proposal and demonstrate how they would deliver social value, since these factors together accounted for 35% of evaluation. The two awarded suppliers were both small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the work was accessible to capable specialist or regional contractors.
