This procurement falls under the industry category of goods and specifically electric vehicles (CPV 34144900). The delivery region is the North East of the United Kingdom. The tender followed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The significant dates include a tender period ending on 16th December 2025 and an award issued on the same date. The contract period extends from 22nd December 2025 to 22nd January 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £202,696.38.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in electric vehicles and related industries to engage with local government contracts. Although the procurement was completed through a framework agreement, understanding such opportunities could place suitable businesses in a competitive position for future calls. While the awarded supplier, North East Truck & Van Limited, is a large-scale company, medium-sized enterprises with expertise in electric vehicle supply or service might find similar framework agreements advantageous for business growth. Participation in similar tenders could cultivate relationships with public sector buyers like Darlington Borough Council, potentially opening doors to additional regional or national contracts.
