The Authority require a contract with suppliers who are able to supply the whole range of vehicles within the lot tendered for that are used by the Authority. The estimated value given for each lot is simply the total contract value divided into 12 equal lots. If you require a more accurate estimate then please submit a clarification query via the tender portal. In order to provide more opportunities for SME suppliers, rather than a single supplier, the Authority has created different lots categorised by vehicle type. These hires can be either short term e.g. weeks or for a longer period e.g. months. A potential contract risk would be that Local Government Reform or a change in the Council's vehicle hire and purchasing strategy may result in changes to requirements. This could result in an increase or a decrease in requirements. As a result of Local Government Reform the contract may require novation to any new local authority organisation once created. ## Lots (12) ### Lot 1: Vehicle Type A, B, K, L - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Delivery regions:** UKF - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** Small Cars up to 3.5t Medium Cars up to 3.5t 4x4's with truckman style back Small panel Vans up to 3.5t Medium panel Vans (inc electric) up to 3.5t Large panel Vans (inc electric) up to 3.5t Luton Vans (inc electric) Welfare van with WC 3.5T - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 2: Vehicle Type H,I,J,K,M,P - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** Traffic Management Vehicle (Cone vehicle 3.5T) 3.5T Utility Cab tipper (may also require crew cab instead of utility) 3.5T Utility Cab /Flatbed (we may also require crew cab instead of utility) 3.5t Utility Cab Drop side (we may also require crew cab... - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 3: Vehicle type S,T,U - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** 7.5T Flatbed 7.5T Luton box van with tail lift 12T Luton box van with tail lift - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 4: Vehicle type G - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** Crane lorry 18T Crane Lorry with Front mounted crane for street lighting application with minimum 8M long load bed and "H" frame to carry street lighting colums of up to 14M - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 5: Vehicle type N - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** 32t Hook Loader with sheeting system - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 6: Vehicle type O - **Lot id:** `6` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** MEWPs, 3.5t, 5.2t and 7t van with 13.5m & 14.5m platform - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 7: Vehicle type F,R - **Lot id:** `7` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** 7.5 Tonne Insulated rear Tipper with drop sides (with rear ingress eg steps and fall arrest) 18T Insulated Rear Tipper with drop side's (with rear ingress e.g. steps and fall arrest) - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 8: Vehicle type Q - **Lot id:** `8` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** Gritter: demountable and fixed body 26t - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 9: Vehicle type V - **Lot id:** `9` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** 18T Roadmender and hot box - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 10: Vehicle type W - **Lot id:** `10` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** 18t Gully tankers - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 11: Vehicle type E - **Lot id:** `11` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** 18T Crash Cushion Short wheelbase - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 12: Vehicle type C, D - **Lot id:** `12` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34100000, 60100000 - **Estimated Value:** £400,000 - **Description:** 8 passenger Seat Minibus (Group B licence with Tail lift) 12 to 16 passenger Seat Minibus (with Tai lift & flexible seating for wheelchairs) - **Contract Period:** 12/11/2026 to 11/11/2028 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F077129-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-08-20T13:38:09.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-24T20:58:40.518Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-051f33
