Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council bought three Renault Kangoo vans for delivery in the North East of England. This is a goods procurement for new or replacement light commercial vehicles, rather than a vehicle maintenance, leasing or fleet-management service. The requirement is for a defined quantity of the same model, so relevant businesses are likely to be vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealers, commercial vehicle dealerships, fleet suppliers or distributors able to source and deliver Renault Kangoo vans. The council is the buying organisation, based at County Hall in Durham. The procurement relates specifically to supplying the vehicles; associated services should only be considered where they form part of a supplier’s normal vehicle-delivery offer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Lookers Group. The award value is £56,032.35 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 14 September 2026. It followed a tender process, with submissions due by 8 July 2026. The requirement is identified as three vans and the overall estimated procurement value is also £56,032.35. Lookers Group is the sole named awardee. The tender is recorded as complete and the award as active, indicating that the selection decision has been made and the resulting contract period has begun.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Durham County Council for three Renault Kangoo vans, supplied as a single vehicle package. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need reliable access to Renault commercial vehicles, the ability to fulfil a small multi-vehicle order, and dependable delivery arrangements in the North East. The published suitability assessment indicates that the opportunity was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so established, larger-scale vehicle suppliers are better placed to compete. Relevant strengths include manufacturer or dealer relationships, fleet-order management, vehicle preparation and handover, and experience supplying public-sector or other organisational customers against a formal tender.
