## Summary

Luton Council intends to appoint a contractor to provide a comprehensive vehicle removal, storage and disposal service supporting the council’s statutory enforcement functions. The work covers vehicle recovery and removal, secure storage and eventual disposal, alongside services connected with parking enforcement and car park management. The service is for activity in Luton. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of vehicles or construction works. The council is the buying organisation, and the service will support its enforcement responsibilities. The planned procurement is titled Vehicle Removal and Enforcement.

The process is at the planning stage: the council has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It plans to hold preliminary market engagement on 22 October 2026 at 9am, covering its requirements, the expected tender process, access to the procurement portal, social value and questions and answers. The council expects the next procurement notice on 26 October 2026. The estimated contract value is £375,000 excluding VAT (£450,000 including VAT). The planned contract runs from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2029, with a possible extension to 30 June 2030. The procurement is planned as a single lot, and the council has identified that lot as suitable for SMEs.

This planned service may suit vehicle recovery and removal operators able to provide an end-to-end service, including vehicle storage and disposal, and to support a local authority’s statutory enforcement work. The council has identified the single lot as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making the requirement relevant beyond large national providers. Suppliers considering the work can use the planned market engagement to understand the council’s requirements and expected tender process, ask questions and learn how to access its procurement portal. The engagement is also intended to provide guidance on social value, so suppliers should consider how they could address that aspect of their offer. The available information does not set out specific technical accreditations or minimum capacity requirements.
