The vehicle is specified as a specialist tipper with a caged rear tipping body, intended to replace an existing vehicle and meet the Council’s operational needs. This is a goods purchase of a tipper truck (CPV 34134200), rather than a vehicle hire or fleet-management service. Delivery is in the Stockton-on-Tees area. The requirement centres on supplying a complete vehicle to the Council, with the cab configuration, weight class and rear body type forming the key specification. The procurement was made as a single requirement, not as a wider fleet purchase. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MAN Truck and Bus UK Limited. Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council used a direct award through the NEPO/TPPL framework, without a prior competition. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and is active, with an awarded value of £58,141. The award followed the Council’s assessment that the specialist vehicle requirement had a limited supplier market and a further competition was unlikely to identify other capable suppliers. It also cited the delay and continuing vehicle-hire costs that a competition could entail. Price was the stated award criterion. The requirement was handled as one lot, although the lot is marked cancelled in the tender data; the award and contract are recorded as active. This purchase shows demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for specialist operational fleet vehicles, specifically a 5.2-tonne crew-cab tipper with a caged rear tipping body. A credible supplier for a future comparable requirement would need to supply that configuration and meet the Council’s operational specification, with the capacity to deliver a complete replacement vehicle. The Council used its NEPO/TPPL framework and made a direct award, citing the limited market for this specialist vehicle and the value of avoiding delay and hire costs. Suppliers already positioned to provide suitable vehicles through the relevant framework route, and able to demonstrate that the specification is met at a competitive price, are best placed to compete if this requirement returns. The contract is for a single vehicle, indicating a focused vehicle-supply opportunity rather than a large fleet programme. ## Notice Purchase of a 5200kg Crew Cab Tipper vehicle ### Lot Information Lot 1 Supply and delivery of one 5.2 tonne crew cab tipper vehicle for use within the Council's operational fleet. ### Procurement Information A replacement vehicle was required to meet the Council's operational requirements. The requirement was for a specialist 5,200kg crew cab tipper vehicle with a caged rear tipping body, for which the market is limited. Prior market engagement was undertaken and an indicative quotation was obtained that was in line with the Council's expectations for a vehicle of this type. A competitive process was considered but was not deemed proportionate. Due to the specialist nature of the requirement, it was considered unlikely that additional capable suppliers would be identified. Running a further competition would have introduced an estimated delay of two to three months whilst the Council continued to incur vehicle hire costs, with limited prospect of achieving a better outcome. The contract was therefore awarded by direct award through the NEPO/TPPL Framework in accordance with the framework call-off procedures. This approach delivers a compliant procurement route, provides a vehicle that meets the operational requirement, and represents value for money. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096325-2026 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £58,141 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Stockton on Tees Borough Council | | Locality | STOCKTON ON TEES | | Postcode area | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS17 6BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC31 Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees | | Local authority | Stockton-on-Tees | | Electoral ward | Mandale & Victoria | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | TLC11 Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34134200 - Tipper trucks ## Release History - 12 Oct 2026 at 21:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096325-2026 ## Notice URLs - https://www.stockton.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
