Summary of the contracting process

Torridge District Council procured the supply of tyres and tyre-related services for its operational services fleet. The requirement covers tyres for heavy and light-duty vehicles, together with associated services needed to support fleet operations. The work is for the council’s operational vehicles and is delivered within the council’s service area in Devon. This is a goods requirement with a fleet-maintenance focus, relevant to tyre distributors, vehicle servicing businesses and commercial tyre specialists able to supply tyres for a range of heavy and light-duty vehicles. The buyer is Torridge District Council, based in Bideford. The selected supplier is a South West tyre business, indicating that the requirement is suited to providers serving council fleet operations in the region.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Torridge District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. South West Tyre Services (Bruton) Limited was awarded the single lot for the tyre supply and related services requirement. The award is active and the contract was signed on 24 June 2026. The contract runs from 24 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The awarded requirement is classified as tyres for heavy and light-duty vehicles. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract, with delivery within Devon for the council’s operational services fleet.

This procurement shows established council demand for tyres and related support for an operational services fleet, covering both heavy-duty and light-duty vehicles. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to suitable commercial and passenger-vehicle tyres, the ability to support a mixed public-sector fleet, and reliable service delivery across the Torridge District Council area in Devon. The requirement is small and operationally focused, so businesses should be able to provide responsive supply and practical tyre-related support rather than only wholesale distribution. The award to an SME demonstrates that the work can be delivered by a specialist tyre business without the scale of a national corporate supplier, while regional coverage and consistent fleet support remain important commercial strengths.
