UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Lindsey District Council intends to procure in-cab technology for its refuse collection fleet. The requirement is categorised as goods and covers software packages and information systems. The technology is intended for use with the council’s refuse collection vehicles, supporting the fleet’s in-cab operational needs. Delivery is identified as taking place in the United Kingdom. This procurement is being led by West Lindsey District Council, based at the Guildhall in Gainsborough. The requirement is arranged as a single lot and is focused on a technology solution rather than general refuse collection, vehicle operation or waste management services. Businesses supplying in-cab systems, fleet technology, software platforms or related information systems for refuse and municipal vehicle operations should consider the requirement relevant when the council proceeds to the market.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated an intention to buy but has not invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure for a contract categorised as goods, although the procurement method is not yet recorded. The estimated value is £1 excluding VAT and £1.20 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2032, giving an indicative five-year term. The council expects the next notice to be published on 1 January 2027; this is an indicative publication date, not a response deadline. Desktop preliminary market engagement is scheduled to be completed by 30 September 2026. The procurement is above the relevant threshold.

This procurement is likely to suit suppliers with an established in-cab technology or fleet information-systems offering that can be applied to refuse collection vehicles in a UK local-authority setting. Relevant businesses may include software providers, fleet technology specialists and systems integrators with experience supporting operational vehicle fleets. The council’s stated focus means preparation should centre on explaining how an in-cab solution supports refuse collection operations and how the supplier’s product is designed for deployment across a fleet. Suppliers should use the planned desktop market engagement to present their solution, demonstrate relevant municipal or fleet experience, and help the council refine its understanding of available technology before the procurement reaches the tender stage. There is no invitation to bid at this planning stage.
