## Summary

Middlesbrough Council purchased a works truck for its operational requirements. The procurement covers the supply of the vehicle rather than construction or a service contract. Delivery activity is described across the English regions, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Middlesbrough Council, a local authority based in Middlesbrough. The requirement is classified as works trucks, making it relevant to commercial vehicle manufacturers, dealers and specialist fleet suppliers able to provide this type of vehicle through an established public-sector purchasing route.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Middlesbrough Council used a limited procedure: a direct award without publishing a competition, through the HCC and TPPL Vehicle Purchase Framework. The procurement was evaluated on price, and one bid was recorded. The award went to Thompson Commercials Limited. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 for £62,373. The award is recorded as active. The process used a framework agreement and did not include options. The tender was treated as complete, although its single lot is recorded as cancelled; the active award and contract relate to that requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from Middlesbrough Council for works trucks supplied through a public-sector vehicle framework. It is most relevant to vehicle manufacturers, commercial vehicle dealers and fleet suppliers that can provide compliant works trucks and compete primarily on price. A supplier seeking similar work would need access to the relevant HCC and TPPL Vehicle Purchase Framework, or a route into comparable public-sector frameworks, together with the capability to supply and deliver the required vehicle across the stated English coverage. The awarded supplier was a large commercial vehicle business, indicating that established fleet supply capacity and experience with council purchasing arrangements are relevant strengths.
