Other Information

The vehicles are required to support water and wastewater operational activities and, in many cases, to interface with downstream vehicle conversion activity. Vehicles supplied must meet the specified technical, delivery, PDI, warranty and aftersales requirements set out in the associated tender documents. The requirement includes supply and delivery to DCC's nominated conversion supplier. This is not a requirement for used, pre-owned, ex-demonstrator, pre-registered or non-UK specification vehicles. Suppliers that cannot supply new vehicles meeting the mandatory minimum requirements and associated warranty and delivery obligations should not submit a tender for the relevant Lot. Lot volumes are indicative and do not constitute a commitment to purchase any particular volume. DCC reserves the right to award all or part of the indicative volume for any Lot, including splitting a Lot between two or more suppliers, in accordance with the award and volume allocation methodology set out in the tender documents. First deliveries are targeted to commence from w/c 14 September 2026, subject to contract signature, supplier lead times and the final delivery schedule agreed with DCC. Delivery compliance will be assessed in accordance with the delivery cascade mechanism set out in the tender documents, with an outer delivery limit of four months from contract signature unless DCC expressly confirms otherwise through the clarification process before submission. The supplier(s) must provide standard manufacturer warranty for each vehicle and must also provide an authorised local dealer or warranty support point capable of administering warranty claims and minimising avoidable logistics cost, downtime and operational disruption for DCC. ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** This Tender Notice has been updated to align with the final tender documents issued through the DCC eSourcing Portal. The updates clarify the procurement scope, indicative minimum and maximum Lot quantities, vehicle specification basis, delivery assessment approach and commercial award methodology.
