UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington procured the hire of one 18-tonne refuse-collection vehicle for its operations in London. The requirement is a service covering vehicle hire and associated vehicle-fleet management, rather than the purchase of a vehicle. The vehicle is intended for refuse collection, so relevant businesses include commercial vehicle hire companies, refuse-collection vehicle specialists and fleet-management providers able to support a local authority operation. The requirement was managed by the London Borough of Islington, a sub-central public authority. The awarded supplier, Endurance Vehicle Solutions Limited, is based in Chepstow and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was organised as a single lot.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Endurance Vehicle Solutions Limited. It used a below-threshold procurement route; the published method is recorded as unknown. The award was made on 4 February 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 4 February 2026 to 1 February 2027. Its value is £56,241.74 excluding VAT, or £67,490.09 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for one 18-tonne refuse-collection vehicle and related fleet-management services. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated procurement classifications cover refuse-collection vehicles and vehicle-fleet management services.

This procurement shows that Islington requires access to a heavy refuse-collection vehicle through a hire arrangement, supported by fleet-management capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide an 18-tonne refuse-collection vehicle suitable for local-authority waste operations, together with the operational support needed to keep the vehicle available and managed throughout the service period. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than necessarily a major national fleet operator. Businesses with experience in refuse-collection vehicle hire, commercial vehicle fleet management and public-sector service delivery would be the closest fit when this requirement returns to market.
