Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is procuring ten new full-electric small vans. This is a goods supply requirement for electric vehicles, rather than a works or service contract. The vehicles are to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is likely to suit suppliers able to provide new battery-electric commercial vans in the specified small-van format, with the ability to coordinate delivery of a ten-vehicle order. Businesses may include vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers, commercial vehicle distributors and fleet supply companies. The council is the buying organisation, and the procurement concerns the supply of the vehicles themselves rather than their operation, maintenance or charging infrastructure.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: North East Lincolnshire Borough Council invited offers through an open procedure. Tenders were invited by 22 August 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2029, a three-year period. Its total estimated value is £400,000, including the stated currency of GBP. The requirement is presented as a single purchase for ten vans, with no separate lots described. The procurement category is goods, and the stated classification is electric vehicles (CPV 34144900). The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits businesses with direct access to new full-electric small vans and established commercial vehicle supply arrangements. Suppliers should be able to offer vehicles meeting the council’s specification, manage a ten-vehicle order and arrange delivery to Yorkshire and the Humber. Vehicle manufacturers, authorised franchised dealers, specialist electric-vehicle distributors and fleet suppliers are the clearest potential bidders. The requirement may also suit smaller businesses that can source and coordinate the vehicles through a reliable manufacturer or dealer network. Capability in electric commercial vehicles, order fulfilment and public-sector tendering would be relevant strengths. The procurement is expressly identified as suitable for SMEs, widening its potential relevance beyond the largest vehicle suppliers.
