Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council procured ten Nissan vans for delivery in the North East of England. This is a vehicle supply opportunity within the goods category, classified under CPV 34136000 (vans). The requirement is a defined fleet purchase rather than a maintenance, leasing or vehicle-support service. Businesses relevant to this procurement include commercial vehicle dealers, manufacturers’ authorised retailers and fleet suppliers able to source and provide Nissan vans for a public-sector buyer. The purchasing organisation is Middlesbrough Council, based in Middlesbrough. The requirement sits within a named lot covering the van purchase, indicating a focused vehicle supply package rather than a broad transport-services contract.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The tender deadline was 4 August 2026, and the contract was awarded to Lookers Group on 5 August 2026. The awarded value was £318,553.60 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 6 September 2026. The tender’s overall estimated value was also £318,553.60. The award is recorded as active, with Lookers Group as the selected supplier. The published process identifies the purchase as a tender for goods, and the tender itself is marked complete. The recorded procurement-method detail is “Not specified”, so the award information is the clearest indicator of the route and outcome.

For vehicle suppliers, this award is evidence that Middlesbrough Council buys Nissan vans as a defined fleet requirement at a substantial multi-vehicle scale. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to Nissan vans, the operational capacity to supply ten vehicles as one package, and the ability to manage delivery to the North East. The selected supplier, Lookers Group, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that scale and established supply capability were compatible with the requirement. Businesses reviewing this buyer’s future vehicle demand should consider their commercial-vehicle sourcing, fleet-order management and public-sector tendering capability, while recognising that this particular procurement has already concluded.
