## Summary

Blackburn With Darwen Borough Council has completed the procurement process for purchasing refuse collection vehicles, specifically two units, under the industry category of refuse-collection vehicles. The procurement, initiated through a direct award, was processed using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. The award was granted to Dennis Eagle Limited and is registered under ID 033412-2026. The procurement location is identified as UKD41, and the contract for this purchase was officially signed on 1st April 2026, valued at £506,350.
