## Summary

North Tyneside Borough Council procured three pre-owned gritting vehicles for its environmental protection and winter-service operations. The requirement was for 18-tonne vehicles, each designed and constructed to operate legally at a gross weight of 18,000kg. This is a vehicle supply opportunity rather than a maintenance, staffing or road-treatment service contract. The relevant category is gritter vehicles (CPV 34144440). Delivery was required in North Tyneside, in the Tyneside area of north-east England. The selected supplier, Econ Engineering Ltd, is based in Ripon and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The buyer is North Tyneside Borough Council, a local authority responsible for the procurement and the vehicles’ operational use.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, specifically a further competition from an established framework. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award to Econ Engineering Ltd is active. One bid was recorded, and price was the sole evaluation criterion. The contract value is £200,000, including the stated currency of pounds sterling. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026. The published outcome identifies three vehicles as the requirement, but gives no separate award value or contract end date. The award relates to the vehicle supply lot and no options were included.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for three used heavy gritting vehicles at 18-tonne legal operating capacity, bought by North Tyneside Borough Council through a framework further competition and assessed on price alone. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be able to source, inspect and supply pre-owned gritters meeting the specified weight and legal construction requirements. Credibility would depend on demonstrating access to suitable vehicles, reliable condition and specification information, and the ability to deliver the required fleet to North Tyneside. The outcome also shows that an SME specialist in gritting-equipment engineering can compete successfully for this scale of vehicle supply.
