## Summary

The Dorset Council has completed a procurement process for the supply of pre-used Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) and associated vehicles, initiated on 22 January 2021. This procurement falls under the goods category and is classified with the CPV code for refuse-collection vehicles. The procurement was necessitated by the destruction of 18 RCVs due to a major fire at a waste depot on 15 November 2020, leading to an urgent need for replacements. To expedite the process, the Dorset Council employed an accelerated open procedure as permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, which facilitates speedier procurement actions in urgent cases.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of vehicles, particularly those dealing with pre-used refuse collection equipment. Companies that are well-suited to compete in this tender include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide high-quality vehicles at competitive prices. With eight active contracts awarded to various suppliers, businesses in this sector have the potential to increase their market share and contribute to maintaining essential waste services in the region.

## Notice

A major fire on Sunday 15 November 2020 at a Dorset Council waste depot resulted in 18 x Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) being destroyed. This has risen for an urgent need to source and procure pre-used RCVs as replacements to swiftly remove the dependency of hiring replacements, in order to maintain vital waste services, as this is not economically viable for the Council. This does not give Dorset Council sufficient time to comply with standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. The Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, the Council is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (regulation 27.5 for the open procedure) in respect of this procurement.
