## Summary

Dacorum Borough Council has recently concluded a public procurement process for the acquisition of five 3.5-tonne caged tipper vehicles. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically classified as refuse-collection vehicles. The contract, which was signed on 3rd September 2025, was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of standard directives. Located in Hemel Hempstead, this process reflects the Council’s strategic decision to integrate these vehicles into their approved Fleet Replacement Programme, ultimately reducing rental costs. The process is now in the 'Award' stage, with Car Hire (Days of Swansea) T/as Days Rental being the successful supplier.

This tender presents key opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of refuse-collection vehicles, particularly those capable of offering cost-effective fleet solutions. The decision to purchase rather than hire these vehicles underscores a potential demand for suppliers who can provide competitive pricing and reliable delivery timelines. Companies that have experience in dealing with regional or local authorities and can deliver goods specifically tailored to public utility and fleet management sectors would find abundant growth potential in similar contracts. With a total contract value of £157,500, suppliers in the UK, especially those operating within or near the region of UKH2, would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders initiated by the Council.
