Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council bought one electric van through a requirement originally described as five various electric vans. The procurement is for goods in the vans category, intended for delivery in the North West of England. The published description records this as a split award to Renault UK Limited for one vehicle rather than the full five-van requirement. The council is based in Huyton and is the buying organisation. This opportunity is therefore relevant to vehicle manufacturers, authorised commercial-vehicle dealers, fleet suppliers and businesses able to provide electric vans for local-authority use in the North West. It is a vehicle supply requirement rather than a servicing, leasing or infrastructure project.

The procurement has reached the awarded and completed stage. Renault UK Limited received the active award on 17 March 2026 for one electric van, at £26,525.33 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 18 March 2026 to 18 April 2026. The original tender deadline was 8 January 2026. The tender was conducted as a tender process, with the requirement described as a split award from a five-van procurement. The available record does not set out a named evaluation basis or procurement method beyond the tender route. The award concerns one supplier and one vehicle, and its value must not be treated as the value of five vans.

For suppliers assessing future council demand, this award demonstrates a specific requirement for electric commercial vans and a relatively small, discrete vehicle purchase. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable electric vans, handle public-sector purchasing requirements and deliver vehicles in the North West. The successful supplier was Renault UK Limited, a large organisation, while the procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses considering comparable work should therefore assess whether they have the manufacturing, dealership or fleet-supply capacity to compete with established commercial-vehicle providers, as well as the ability to fulfil a single-vehicle award efficiently when requirements are divided rather than awarded as one larger package.
