The buying organisation, a sub-central public authority, aims to replace its existing fleet by acquiring up to seven heavy goods vehicle (HGV) hookloader vehicles, either 26t or 32t, depending on the service needs and tender outcome.

The project is open to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), thus widening the competitive field. With a total contract value of £1.56 million, it offers a lucrative opportunity for businesses with expertise in delivering high-quality transport equipment. The competitive criteria heavily weigh price at 80%, yet 20% is still dedicated to quality evaluation, focusing on vehicle delivery and warranty considerations, which further encourages companies with strong service offerings to participate.
