Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured converted 15-seat vans for its fleet services. The tender title refers to three vehicles, while its description says the purchase is for two 15-seat van conversion vehicles through the TPPL framework. This is a goods procurement for motor vehicles designed to transport 10 or more people, with delivery in England. The requirement is therefore relevant to vehicle manufacturers, specialist van converters, fleet suppliers and businesses able to provide compliant passenger vehicles at this scale. The council is based at County Hall in Nottingham. The procurement concerns the supply of vehicles rather than ongoing transport operations, passenger services or vehicle staffing.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Treka Bus Ltd following an open procedure through the TPPL framework. Bids had to be submitted by 30 July 2026 at 12 noon. The award was made on 30 July 2026 for £262,767, and the contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027. The selected supplier is Treka Bus Ltd. The published procurement data identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. It records the award outcome and contract term but does not set out separate lots or detailed quality and price weightings.

This award demonstrates Nottinghamshire County Council’s demand for converted 15-seat passenger vans for fleet use, with a requirement substantial enough for a specialist vehicle supplier or established conversion business. A credible future competitor would need to source or manufacture suitable vans, design and deliver passenger-carrying conversions, and manage vehicle supply, compliance and fleet delivery reliably. The opportunity is marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist firms may be able to compete, either independently or through a framework route. Businesses with demonstrable experience converting vans for public-sector or other fleet customers would be well placed to understand the vehicle specification, delivery controls and operational expectations.
