Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured an EAV cargo bike, classified under CPV 34400000 as a motorcycle, bicycle or sidecar. This is a goods purchase rather than a service or construction project. The stated requirement is for an EAV Cargo Bike, with delivery in the East of England, United Kingdom. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as a target supplier group. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, distributors and specialist mobility suppliers able to provide EAV cargo bikes for council use in the East of England. The buying organisation is Ipswich Borough Council, based in Ipswich, Suffolk.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure below the threshold. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026 at 11:00. Ipswich Borough Council awarded the contract to MOTO-TREK LIMITED on 1 August 2026 for £20,894 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is active and covers the single EAV cargo bike requirement. The published procurement information identifies the award outcome and the selected supplier. The evaluation basis is recorded through the open procedure, with the procurement categorised as goods. The award value is the same as the overall estimated tender value.

This award demonstrates a defined council requirement for an EAV cargo bike and provides a useful benchmark for suppliers serving the public sector market. Businesses best placed for comparable work would have direct capability to supply EAV cargo bikes, reliable access to the relevant manufacturer or distribution network, and the operational capacity to arrange delivery in the East of England. A credible competitor would be able to describe the vehicle’s specification, suitability for council operations, supply-chain reliability, after-sales support and arrangements for resolving defects or servicing issues. The buyer’s use of an open below-threshold route indicates that smaller businesses can be relevant to this type of purchase, provided they can meet the required specification and deliver a complete, dependable vehicle.
