Food Waste Collection vehicle & supplies [UPDATE]

28 July 2025

The NEPO224 Purchase of HGV, Specialist Vehicles and Waste Supplies Framework has been extremely popular in supporting authorities with food waste related supplies! It has catered to over 75 local authorities in their procurement of more than 1000 food waste collection vehicles, in line with the upcoming required weekly residential food waste collections from March 2026. TPPL is proud to be actively supporting local authorities to prepare with efficiency and confidence.

As a WRAP-endorsed Public Buying Organisation (PBO), TPPL has been engaged in national-level market shaping and local authority collaboration to ensure effective, compliant procurement solutions are available for all stakeholders.

NEPO224 includes lots covering a full suite of waste-related vehicles and products, including:

  • Kitchen and kerbside caddies
  • Wheeled bin
  • Waste containers

With rate book pricing, members can access quick, direct awards from a pre-vetted list of leading UK suppliers, of the above supplies, saving time and resource.

Navigating Extended Lead Times

Due to increased national demand, vehicle lead times now range from 12 to 18 months with most established suppliers. However, we are actively engaging with new suppliers able to offer limited-volume deliveries in under 6 months — a valuable option for interim fleet expansion.

Supporting Flexibility & Continuity

TPPL offers flexible procurement support, including short-term leasing and daily rental solutions, helping local authorities avoid service disruption while waiting for new vehicles to be manufactured.

Our dedicated team is on hand to help you scope requirements and secure the right solution at the right time.
