## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council, operating from Newtown St Boswells, has completed the procurement process for the award of a contract to purchase four used refuse collection vehicles, specifically Dennis Elite+, Dennis Eagle oL19N, and Terberg Omnidel models. This procurement, identified by the tender ID WR-344, falls under the goods category (CPV code: 34144511) and took place in the UKM91 region of Scotland. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication, justified by the technical reasons that the vehicles are solely available from the named supplier. The contract, valued at GBP 820,000, was signed on 26th November 2025 and was awarded to Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in supplying used vehicles, particularly within the refuse collection industry. Companies with the capability to meet specific technical and quality criteria have the potential to engage in similar agreements. As the procurement process was limited to a specific supplier due to technical stipulations, businesses that hold unique or exclusive offerings may have a competitive edge. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd, which won this contract, are particularly well-suited to compete in such settings where specialised knowledge and products are required.
