Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has successfully awarded a contract to Lookers Group for the procurement of a 3.5-tonne L3-H2 medium roof panel van, classified within the CPV category for panel vans. This procurement activity falls under the 'goods' category and is associated with the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tender commenced with the award date set on 19th March 2026, with the contract period starting on 20th March 2026 and ending on 20th April 2026. The contract value is set at £47,470.27 GBP and represents the completion of the tender phase with Durham County Council acting as the buying organisation.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply and manufacture of commercial vehicles, particularly panel vans, to engage in meaningful business growth and collaboration with public sector organisations like Durham County Council. Although the contract was awarded to Lookers Group—a large-scale supplier—this type of procurement can encourage other manufacturers and suppliers, specifically those with a large operational scale, to prepare and compete for future tenders within the regional and similar industry categories. The tender process was initiated through a standard procurement method and completed in compliance with the necessary public procurement standards.
