Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Coventry City Council involved the purchase of a vehicle, specifically a Kia Sportage Estate, under the title "COV - Vehicle Purchase - 1 x Kia Sportage Estate - May 2026 - TPPL Framework". The process falls under the motor vehicles industry category and was carried out in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender, identified as "COV - 26146", moved through to the award stage with the award being completed on 21st May 2026. The process started on 29th April 2026 and ended on 3rd July 2026. Coventry City Council, located in Coventry, England, acted as the buying organisation.

This procurement tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle supply and dealership. Particularly, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of supplying motor vehicles stand to benefit, given the tender's suitability for SMEs. The award went to Lookers Motor Group Ltd, a large supplier, highlighting opportunities for established firms with robust logistic capabilities. Firms interested in participating in similar procurement processes should ensure compliance with selective procurement methodologies and may benefit from being part of framework agreements that facilitate such call-off contracts. This demonstrates the potential for business growth through engagement with public sector procurement and forming alliances within framework agreements.
