West Lindsey District Council has renewed its 12-year relationship with Dennis Eagle and added four new refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) to its fleet.
The local authority said it bought two to four new RCVs every couple of years to avoid having to refresh its fleet all at once.
Dennis Eagle has been supplying the council’s vehicles since 2012 through a procurement process led by Lincolnshire County Council, which allows all Lincolnshire authorities to use the same purchasing route.
West Lindsey’s operational services manager, Rob Gilliot, said: ‘It’s a nice easy process for us as a local authority to use.
‘It’s a bit like being at a restaurant – we get a menu from the council’s purchasing team and our rep from Dennis Eagle of the different vehicle sizes, the types of bin lift, and the bolt-ons such as cameras, safety equipment, etc.
‘We make our selection, and the vehicles are delivered fully branded with all the equipment fitted.’
