Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured three medium-sized electric passenger cars for delivery in the East Midlands. This is a goods requirement covering the supply of road vehicles rather than vehicle leasing, servicing or associated infrastructure. The buying organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council, based at County Hall in Nottingham. The requirement is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealerships, commercial vehicle distributors and fleet suppliers able to provide medium electric cars for a public-sector customer. The published scope identifies passenger cars as the procurement category and describes the requirement as three medium electric cars. Delivery is required within the East Midlands, so suppliers with suitable distribution, registration and handover arrangements in or serving that area would be best placed to support the council’s needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bids were due by 22 June 2026. The estimated procurement value was £59,996.70. Nottinghamshire County Council awarded the contract to Motus Commercials Derby on 28 July 2026 for £59,996.70. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 29 August 2026. The award is recorded as active, and the requirement was handled as a single purchase of three vehicles rather than separate lots. The award basis recorded for the process does not set out specific price, quality or other evaluation weightings. The result indicates a short vehicle-supply contract focused on fulfilling the defined quantity of medium electric passenger cars for the council.

This award shows established demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for a small fleet of medium electric passenger cars, supplied through a commercial vehicle business. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable electric passenger-car stock, reliable manufacturer or dealer supply arrangements, and the ability to provide three matching or compliant vehicles to a public-sector specification. Fleet sales experience, accurate quotation and order management, vehicle registration, delivery coordination and handover capability would support a competitive proposition. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, while the procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers targeting similar council requirements should therefore be prepared for public-sector purchasing processes and demonstrate capacity to deliver a complete, compliant vehicle order rather than individual retail sales.
