Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council procured the supply and delivery of two unibody vehicles fitted with three-way tipping bodies. This is a heavy and municipal vehicle requirement, specifically tipper bodies, rather than a general vehicle fleet purchase. The vehicles are for delivery in Renfrewshire. The requirement was competed through Scotland Excel’s framework for the supply and delivery of heavy and municipal vehicles, under its lot covering bodies for tippers. The recorded classification is motor vehicles (CPV 34100000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Econ Engineering Ltd. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026, with a recorded value of £280,666.22. The route was a limited mini-competition among suppliers on the relevant Scotland Excel framework, rather than an open competition. Evaluation gave technical quality a 30% weighting and price a 70% weighting. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The tender data marks its single lot as cancelled, although the award is active and the contract is active; the published outcome therefore identifies an awarded supplier and active contract despite that conflicting lot status.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand from Renfrewshire Council, this award shows a requirement for the supply and delivery of two specialist tipper vehicles, competed through an established Scotland Excel heavy and municipal vehicles framework. A credible competitor would need to supply complete unibody vehicles with three-way tipping capability and meet the technical requirements strongly enough to compete on quality, while offering a competitive price. The recorded evaluation placed greater emphasis on price than technical quality, so suppliers would need to balance specification compliance and delivery capability with cost control. The award went to a large vehicle engineering supplier; businesses aiming to compete for a future requirement of this type should be able to demonstrate relevant heavy-vehicle and tipper-body expertise and access to the framework route.
