Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council bought a specialist jet-washing vehicle for its Neighbourhood Environmental Services team. The vehicle supports environmental cleansing across Edinburgh, including deep cleaning, pressure washing and responsive cleaning in public spaces and busy, high-footfall areas. This is a purchase of a commercial vehicle configured for specialist jet-washing work, rather than a general cleansing service. The requirement is intended to help the council carry out both planned deep-cleaning tasks and reactive work around the city. The initial requirement covers one vehicle; the procurement also includes the possibility of buying an additional vehicle. Delivery is for the City of Edinburgh Council, with the work taking place across Edinburgh.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used an open procedure and awarded the contract to Nissan Motors GB (Ltd), through the TPPL vehicle-purchase framework for light commercial vehicles up to 5 tonnes. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is valued at £120,694.40. The award covers one specialist jet-washing vehicle. The council retains an option to purchase a second vehicle in 2027; this is a possibility rather than part of the initial one-vehicle award. The published bid statistics record one bid for the lot. No award date or contract-period dates are reported, so the signed date is the available milestone for the outcome.

For suppliers of specialist commercial vehicles, this award shows demand from Edinburgh Council for a vehicle that can support high-pressure washing and responsive cleansing in public spaces and busy locations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a suitable vehicle and configure it for municipal jet-washing operations, including deep cleaning and reactive work across a city. The purchase was made through a vehicle framework covering light commercial vehicles up to 5 tonnes, so experience supplying through comparable public-sector frameworks would be commercially relevant. The single recorded bid indicates that this award had one bidder, while the selected supplier was a large vehicle business. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate the capacity to deliver a specialist vehicle to a local authority and meet its operational needs.
