Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council has recently completed a procurement process for the direct award of two gully tanker vehicles. This procurement falls under the industry category of general public services and covers the region of Aberdeen, UKM50. The procurement was concluded using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication, due to extreme urgency. The contract was signed on 12th December 2025, with an awarded value of £539,596. The process has progressed to the award stage, confirming Bell Truck & Van as the supplier.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in the provision of heavy duty vehicles or equipment suited to municipal needs. Large businesses with established capabilities in vehicle provision and those able to fulfill urgent operational requirements are well-suited to compete in similar procurement environments. The direct award mechanism points to a critical operational demand within the public sector, presenting a potential market for companies capable of rapid mobilisation and delivery.
