Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council bought two gully emptiers for use in Stirling. These are specialist municipal vehicles used to empty and maintain road gullies and drainage systems. The requirement was for goods rather than a service or construction works, covering the vehicle chassis and gully-emptier bodies. The council was the buying organisation and the delivery location was in the Stirling area. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, providing a relevant reference point for manufacturers, specialist vehicle bodybuilders, municipal vehicle dealers and suppliers able to deliver complete gully-emptying vehicles to a local authority.

This procurement is complete and the contract is active. Stirling Council made a direct award without publishing a prior competition, using the Scotland Excel framework for the supply and delivery of heavy and municipal vehicles, covering chassis and gully-emptier bodies. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 for GBP 358,178. WHALE TANKERS LIMITED was selected for the requirement. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically, and the award covered the two gully emptiers as a single lot. The published outcome records the procurement as outside the scope of the relevant directive. No separate award date or contract duration is stated in the outcome.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Stirling Council, this award demonstrates a requirement for complete specialist gully-emptying vehicles rather than ordinary fleet vehicles. A credible competitor would need the ability to provide suitable heavy-vehicle chassis together with purpose-built gully-emptier bodies, and to support delivery to a local authority. Experience supplying municipal or other heavy vehicles would strengthen a future proposition. The procurement also shows that Stirling Council used an established Scotland Excel framework, so suppliers would need access to the relevant framework route or a comparable compliant route when this type of requirement returns. The single recorded bid indicates a focused specialist market.
