## Summary

Sunderland City Council has completed a procurement process for the purchase of up to 24 Refuse Collection Vehicles as part of Lot 1 of the TPPL/NEPO Framework for HGV and Specialist Vehicles. This tender, classified under CPV code 34144511, covers both conventional and recycling vehicles, with a total value of £4,686,004.
