UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured services to upgrade and install vehicle camera systems across its waste fleet, with ongoing service maintenance. The requirement covers installation work and repair and maintenance services for the council’s refuse collection vehicles. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The council is a sub-central public authority based in Derby and is the buyer for the service. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering the camera upgrade, installation and continuing maintenance of the relevant waste fleet. This is a specialist fleet technology and vehicle systems service opportunity, rather than a general vehicle supply contract or standalone software purchase. Businesses operating in commercial vehicle camera installation, fleet safety systems, vehicle electronics or associated maintenance may find the requirement relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CONTEL LTD. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 26 April 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 1 May 2027, with four 12-month renewals permitted and a maximum end date of 1 May 2031. Its value is £102,070 excluding VAT, or £122,484 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and is classified as a services contract. The selected supplier is CONTEL LTD, an SME based in Accrington. The contract is active. The published outcome records the requirement as camera system installation with ongoing service maintenance across the waste fleet, evaluated through the limited competition route.

This outcome demonstrates an established requirement for a council waste fleet that combines vehicle camera upgrades, installation and continuing maintenance. Competitors would need practical capability in fitting and commissioning camera systems on refuse collection vehicles, integrating equipment into operational fleet environments and supporting those systems after installation. Credible suppliers are likely to need dependable field engineering coverage, responsive fault diagnosis and the capacity to maintain equipment across a working fleet rather than only deliver a one-off installation. Experience with commercial vehicles, fleet safety or monitoring technology would be relevant. The award to an SME also indicates that a specialist provider can satisfy this type of council requirement without being a large national contractor. The repeat maintenance and renewal structure makes service continuity and long-term support important strengths.
