Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was overseen by the Office of Communications (OFCOM), headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The tender is for the "Provision of Buzz Cargo van," specifically aimed at replacing OFCOM's Compliance Team's ageing vehicle with a full electric van. Classified under the motor vehicles category (CPV code: 34100000), the award stage has been reached, with the contract awarded to VW Capitol Way CV. The procurement utilised a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was activated on 29th October 2025, following a tender period that concluded on 28th October 2025, and the contract period is set between 29th October and 17th November 2025. The total contract value stands at £41,012 GBP.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the motor vehicle sector, particularly those specialising in electric vehicles and capable of delivering specific adaptations or customisations required by public entities like OFCOM. Companies looking to expand their footprint in providing eco-friendly transport solutions, especially those already part of framework agreements, will find this type of tender particularly beneficial. While this contract has concluded, similar opportunities often arise, encouraging potential suppliers to position themselves strategically within such frameworks to secure future tenders.
