Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Lake District National Park Authority procured a Ford Ranger plug-in hybrid electric vehicle for its fleet. The requirement is for the purchase and supply of a vehicle rather than transport operations or wider transport services. Delivery is associated with the North West of England, with the buying authority based in Kendal. The procurement is categorised as goods. The stated requirement names Pye Motors Limited as the supplier and identifies the vehicle as a Ford Ranger PHEV. Businesses relevant to this requirement include vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealerships, fleet vehicle suppliers and businesses able to provide comparable plug-in hybrid utility vehicles for public-sector fleet use in the North West.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Pye Motors Limited on 20 August 2026. The award value is £90,000. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The authority used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, described as a direct award via framework. The tender record gives a total estimated value of £90,000 and identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There are no lots or multiple awards to distinguish. The outcome is an active award to the named supplier, covering the purchase of the Ford Ranger PHEV for the authority’s fleet.

For a supplier that did not secure this award, the procurement is evidence that the Lake District National Park Authority buys plug-in hybrid utility vehicles for its operational fleet through framework call-offs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply Ford Ranger PHEV vehicles or an equivalent plug-in hybrid pickup, meet public-sector purchasing and delivery requirements, and operate effectively across the North West of England. Experience supplying fleet vehicles to public bodies, understanding framework call-off and direct-award routes, and providing reliable vehicle fulfilment would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist dealership or smaller fleet vehicle supplier could be relevant where it can meet the required vehicle specification and procurement route.
