Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured electric vans for operational use, under a goods requirement covering five various electric vans. The procurement was associated with a wider purchasing arrangement and was structured as a split award; the selected supplier received an award for one electric van rather than the full five-vehicle requirement. The vehicle supply was intended for delivery in the North West of England. This is a fleet vehicle opportunity rather than a vehicle maintenance, charging infrastructure or general transport-services contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised commercial-vehicle dealers and fleet suppliers able to provide electric vans matching the council’s technical and operational specifications. The buying organisation is Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, based in Huyton, Merseyside.

The procurement has been completed and the tender status is complete. The tender submission deadline was 8 January 2026, and the award was made on 17 March 2026. Motus Commercials Derby was awarded the contract for one electric van, as a split award from the five vans originally tendered. The awarded value was £35,858.10 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 18 March 2026 to 18 April 2026. The procurement was conducted as a tender for vans, with the award recorded as active. The award information identifies the requirement as five various electric vans originally, but confirms that only one van formed part of this supplier’s award. The published procurement details do not set out an evaluation weighting or a specific named procurement method.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for electric commercial vans within Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council’s fleet, with demand capable of being divided between suppliers rather than awarded as one complete vehicle package. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable electric van models, manufacturer or authorised-dealer support, and the ability to manage vehicle specification, ordering and delivery for a public-sector fleet. Commercial-vehicle expertise, reliable lead-time management, compliant documentation and after-sales support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The outcome also indicates that the council’s requirement can accommodate a specialist supplier providing individual vehicles, although the recorded suitability assessment did not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to operate at established commercial-vehicle dealer scale.
