Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured five accessible eight-seater minibuses for its CallConnect demand-responsive transport service, to support passenger transport across Lincolnshire. The purchase covers supplying and delivering the vehicles, registering them and providing associated warranty arrangements. This is a vehicle supply contract in the minibus category (CPV 34114400). Delivery is associated with Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to EVM Direct Ltd through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 23 October 2026. The recorded award value is £0, so it does not provide a usable price for the vehicles. The tender deadline was 19 October 2026. The tender period gives a contract term from 23 October 2026 to 23 June 2027, while the award records a separate period from 26 October 2026 to 8 March 2027. The requirement was for five vehicles as a single unnumbered item; no separate lot awards or evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows demand from Lincolnshire County Council for accessible eight-seater vehicles supporting its CallConnect passenger transport service. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply and deliver five accessible minibuses, complete their registration and provide warranty arrangements. The supplier must be able to meet the relevant accessibility requirements and support vehicles intended for demand-responsive passenger services across Lincolnshire. The award went to EVM Direct Ltd, demonstrating that a vehicle supplier capable of delivering this package was selected through a framework call-off route. The recorded award value does not establish the commercial scale of the purchase, so it cannot be used as a benchmark for pricing or supplier capacity.
