Decision details

Notice of the approval to purchase 2 large (7.5 tonne) mechanical sweeping vehicles. This is a planned purchase that sits within the 2024 vehicle replacement programme. The vehicles are to be diesel.

Cabinet approved the purchase of two 7.5 tonne mechanical sweepers at a cost of approximately £175K per vehicle.

Both vehicles are on the rolling replacement program and would double the provision of this type of vehicle and remove the one vehicle which is currently hired at a cost of £36,400 per year.

Smaller vehicles which would have potentially been electric, but these lacked the size to make them a practical alternative.
