Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham Trent University procured the contract hire and maintenance of a Vauxhall Combo M Cargo XL electric van. This is a vehicle hire requirement, covering a light commercial vehicle in the up-to-3.5-tonne class through the relevant vehicle-hire framework. The van is for delivery in Nottingham, at the university’s site on Shakespeare Street. The requirement is focused on supplying and maintaining this specific electric van, rather than a broader vehicle fleet or general transport service. Vehicle leasing and hire providers with the ability to arrange this model and support it through the hire period are the most directly relevant businesses.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sinclair Finance & Leasing Co Ltd on 6 October 2026. The award value is £14,203.66. The hire period runs from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2029. The university made a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service vehicle-hire framework, under its lot for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes; this was a framework call-off rather than a new open competition. The requirement is for one Vauxhall Combo M Cargo XL electric van, with maintenance included in the contract-hire requirement. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate scoring criteria are recorded.

This award shows demand from Nottingham Trent University for contract hire of an electric light commercial van with maintenance included, sourced through a central vehicle-hire framework. Businesses competing for similar requirements should be able to supply or arrange the specified class of electric van and provide a maintained hire service over a multi-year term. Experience in vehicle leasing and fleet support, and the ability to work within the framework’s terms and call-off process, are directly relevant. The requirement was marked suitable for SMEs, so a smaller vehicle-hire or leasing business may be well placed if it can meet the framework and service requirements. The award also demonstrates that the university has used a direct framework call-off for this focused vehicle requirement.
