Tyres Tenders and Contracts

Tyres procurement covers the supply, fitting, repair and management of tyres for cars, vans, buses, trucks and aircraft. Collection and recycling of used tyres is tendered separately.

Stotles brings together tyres 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. Ambulance trusts often direct award tyre supply from a framework, while councils and housing associations tender multi-year fleet tyre contracts or a mobile tyres lot in fleet maintenance.

Tyres must meet UK type approval and labelling rules, and fitters handling heavy vehicles should follow industry safe working guidance such as the National Tyre Distributors Association scheme. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Many tyre requirements are awarded as call-offs from national frameworks covering vehicle fleet services, rather than as standalone open tenders. Others are tendered directly by individual buyers.

Local councils, police and fire services, NHS trusts and transport operators run tyre contracts to keep their vehicle fleets on the road. Many buy through central purchasing frameworks rather than running their own tender.

Read fleet replacement and maintenance plans, vehicle framework renewals, depot management reviews and expiry dates for existing tyre contracts, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Tyre notices carry 34350000 (Tyres for heavy/light-duty vehicles), 34351100 (Tyres for motor cars) and 50116500 (Tyre repair services, including fitting and balancing).
