Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of one Nissan Townstar EV van, classified under the industry category of "Vans" (CPV Code 34136000). The procurement process, facilitated by the contracting authority Durham County Council, involves the delivery of the vehicle to the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached its award phase, with the award made on 25 April 2025. The tender period concluded on 25 April 2025, and the contract is set to run from 26 April 2025 to 26 May 2025. Despite being labelled as "Not specified," the procurement method adhered to standard protocols for the acquisition of goods.

This tender represents an important business growth opportunity for companies in the automotive sector, particularly those specialising in electric vehicles. Although the awarded supplier is Lookers Group, a large-scale enterprise, smaller businesses that can offer competitive pricing, local expertise, or specialised services related to electric vans might find future opportunities in supplying to public sector organisations. Such tenders could also prove beneficial for businesses focused on sustainability and green technology, aligning with the increasing demand for environmentally friendly transport solutions by public entities like Durham County Council.
