Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is buying one new 18-tonne gross vehicle weight rigid tipper truck fitted with a hydraulic loader crane. This is a goods procurement for a complete vehicle rather than a service or construction project. The truck is intended for heavy-duty civil engineering, highway maintenance and municipal waste operations, with self-loading capability for materials including aggregates, tarmac and spoil. Delivery is to Leicester, United Kingdom. The requirement falls within transport equipment and auxiliary products for transportation (CPV 34000000). Suppliers should therefore be able to provide a suitable new 18-tonne tipper crane vehicle and ensure it meets the operational needs of council work involving road maintenance, civil engineering materials and waste operations.

The procurement has reached tender: Leicester City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 30 July 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 11 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. The estimated value is £140,000 excluding VAT, or £168,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed. There is one lot covering the complete vehicle requirement. Tenders are evaluated 60% on price and 40% on quality. This weighting means suppliers need to offer a commercially competitive vehicle while also demonstrating that their proposed truck and loader-crane solution meets the council’s quality requirements.

This opportunity suits vehicle manufacturers, specialist commercial-vehicle dealers and bodybuilders able to supply a new rigid tipper truck with an integrated hydraulic loader crane. Relevant suppliers will need capability in heavy-duty vehicle specification, crane and tipping-body integration, and the practical requirements of self-loading aggregates, tarmac and spoil. Experience supplying vehicles for civil engineering, highway maintenance or municipal waste operations would help a bidder show that its solution is fit for the intended work. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may also suit an SME with the necessary vehicle sourcing, engineering, fitting and delivery capability, whether operating independently or through an appropriate supply partnership.
