Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured electric vans for its pest-control service. The requirement is for motor vehicles, specifically pest-control vehicles, for delivery in North West England. This is a vehicle supply contract rather than a pest-control service contract: the vehicles support the council’s own pest-control operations. The buyer is Liverpool City Council, based in Liverpool. The procurement is therefore relevant to suppliers able to provide electric commercial vehicles for public-sector operational use, particularly those able to supply and support vehicles for a council service in the North West.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to KINTO UK. The council used an open procedure. The estimated procurement value was £45,000; the awarded value was £43,226. The award date was 25 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. The tender deadline was 4 August 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was treated as a single vehicle-supply opportunity, with no lots recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process information, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be summarised.

This award confirms demand from Liverpool City Council for electric vehicles to support its pest-control operations, with a multi-year contract for vehicle supply. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement in future would need to offer suitable electric commercial vehicles and demonstrate they can meet a public-sector fleet requirement serving a council operation in the North West. The council considered the opportunity suitable for SMEs, so smaller vehicle suppliers may be relevant competitors alongside larger fleet providers. The selected supplier was a large business, showing that a substantial fleet provider was able to meet the requirement; however, the available information does not identify specific vehicle specifications, fleet quantity, servicing obligations or supplier accreditations, so these should not be assumed as requirements.
