The transaction, valued at £33,000, falls within the 'goods' procurement category and is situated in England, United Kingdom. The procurement process was completed with a contract period commencing on 7th April 2025 and concluding on 12th May 2025. The tender was initially planned to end on 27th September 2024, with the award being actively finalised on 30th September 2024. The procurement method employed was specified as "Other - ", indicating potentially specific procedural nuances unique to this case.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the automotive and electric vehicle sectors to grow their business by partnering with a local government body such as Bath and North East Somerset Council. Although this specific contract was awarded to Lookers PLC, businesses that manufacture or supply electric vehicles and related technologies could find similar future tenders beneficial. The focus on electric vehicles aligns with broader industry trends towards sustainability, offering prolonged opportunities for companies that can provide innovative solutions and competitive pricing. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), however, may find participation in such tenders challenging, considering the procurement suitability preferences indicated in this instance.
