Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council bought a Toyota light commercial vehicle (LCV), classified as a motor vehicle, for delivery in the East of England. This is a goods requirement focused on supplying the specified Toyota vehicle rather than providing vehicle maintenance, fleet management, transport operations or construction services. The purchasing organisation is Ipswich Borough Council. The named requirement is singular and does not describe a wider vehicle fleet, multiple vehicle types or associated services. Businesses active in supplying Toyota light commercial vehicles to public sector organisations, particularly those able to deliver into the East of England, are the most directly relevant comparators for this procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Toyota (GB) PLC. The award date was 1 March 2026, with an awarded value of £44,572. The contract period runs from 30 March 2026 to 30 June 2026. Bids had to be submitted by 3 January 2026 at 11:00 GMT. Ipswich Borough Council used a selective procedure described as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and Toyota (GB) PLC is the recorded supplier.

This award provides a clear example of Ipswich Borough Council’s demand for a Toyota light commercial vehicle, bought through a framework call-off and delivered in the East of England. Competitors seeking similar work from this buyer would need the ability to supply the required Toyota LCV, meet public-sector framework call-off requirements and arrange delivery to the stated area. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a smaller vehicle supplier with appropriate framework access could be commercially relevant alongside larger manufacturers or dealers. The selected supplier was Toyota (GB) PLC, indicating that direct manufacturer supply or an established Toyota distribution route was credible for this requirement.
