Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED:   That the Cabinet:   1)    Accept the tenders from Vauxhall Motors Ltd via Stellantis &You UK Ltd dealership for the one-off purchase to supply:   a.    15 x Small LCV vehicles (Lot 1) at a total cost of £299,462. b.    5 x Medium LCV vehicles (Lot 2) at a total cost of £119,088 c.    2 x 3.5t Tipper vehicles (Lot 3) at a total cost of £71,334 d.    10 x 3.5t Tip & T.Pod vehicles (Lot 4) at a total cost of £373,290   2)    Approve the capital release of £863,174 to purchase 32 diesel vehicles from the 2026/27 Purchase of Vehicles budget (Appendix A).   Reasons for decision   The Cabinet Member for Residents Services introduced a report, which Cabinet agreed, to replace 32 end?of?life vehicles in the Council’s operational fleet that were subject to daily ULEZ charges, ensuring services continue to run efficiently and reliably. The Cabinet Member noted that, subject to sufficient EV charging infrastructure and grid capacity, the fleet would transition from diesel to electric vehicles over time.   Alternative options considered / risk management   Doing nothing was rejected due to high operating costs, reliability risks, and ongoing hire and ULEZ costs, while leasing was discounted as it would have been more expensive and risked additional damage charges.   Relevant Committee Residents Services Expiry date for any scrutiny call-in / date decision can be implemented (if no call-in) Cabinet’s decisions on this matter can be called in by a majority of the Committee by 5pm, Friday 3 July 2026. If not called-in by then, Cabinet’s decisions can then be implemented. Officer(s) to action Jordon Groves Directorate Residents Services Classification Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).    

Date of Decision: June 25, 2026
