Tipper Trucks Tenders and Contracts

Most notices are for buying or hiring the vehicles, or for their repair, refurbishment and repainting. Sewage tanker contracts also cover emergency call-out services when a drainage or sewage system needs an interim fix.

Stotles brings together tipper trucks tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Councils buy tippers by direct award or mini-competition from vehicle frameworks such as NEPO's, and operated tipper hire sits as a lot in plant hire frameworks.

Tippers must be type approved and roadworthy, operators need an O-licence for vehicles over the relevant weight, and drivers need the right licence category and Driver CPC. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar supply contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Tipper vehicles are tendered in small batches by specification, or leased on contract hire, while operated tipper hire sits as a lot inside highways and plant hire frameworks. Sewage tanker work is often bought as an emergency call-out.

Local councils are regular buyers, procuring vehicles and repair work for their own highways and waste fleets. National public bodies also buy sewage tanker services when they need an emergency response.

Read fleet replacement plans, highways and waste vehicle programmes, lease expiry dates and drainage emergency arrangements, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the councils and public bodies behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Tipper notices carry 34134200 (Tipper trucks), 34134000 (Flatbed and Tipper trucks) and 45500000 (Hire of construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment with operator) for operated hire.
