Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council has completed the procurement process for the supply of Gully Emptiers, focusing on the industry category of general public services. The process was managed at their location in Stirling, UKM77, with the procurement method being a direct award through a framework without prior publication of a call for competition. This award falls under the Scotland Excel Framework for the Supply & Delivery of Heavy and Municipal Vehicles, specifically Lot 1 Chassis and Lot 5 Gully Emptier bodies. The contract was signed on 6th July 2026, and the procurement stage concluded with an active contract worth GBP 358,178 awarded to WHALE TANKERS LIMITED, a large-scale supplier based in Solihull.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in heavy and municipal vehicles, particularly those with the capability to provide specialised equipment such as Gully Emptiers. It highlights potential for suppliers who can engage in direct awards through framework agreements, offering a streamlined path to secure contracts with regional or local authorities like Stirling Council. Businesses with experience in supplying specialised municipal services or those looking to expand into these service categories could benefit from engaging with similar opportunities, provided they can align with framework requirements and demonstrate robust delivery capabilities.
