Summary of the contracting process

A recent contract awarded by Lancaster City Council involved the supply of three vans, under the procurement title "Supply of Vans." The contract fell within the motor vehicles industry category, with a focus on goods. Notably, this procurement process was completed through a selective procurement method known as the restricted procedure. Despite the contract's completion, lot 1, relating to the supply of the vans, was ultimately cancelled, with a contract value amounting to £105,966.85 signed on 11th December 2025. The delivery of the vans was scheduled for the UKD region. The award was granted to Motus Group UK Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Derby. The procurement process, tagged as complete, highlights the active involvement of Lancaster City Council as the buying organization.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the motor vehicle supply chain, particularly large companies capable of handling selective procurement routes and competitive award criteria focusing on quality, social value, and price considerations. Companies like Motus Group UK Limited, with a footprint in large-scale operations and logistics, stand well-positioned to compete. The selective procurement process and stringent criteria suggest that firms with extensive experience and capability in supplying specialised vehicle fleets could significantly leverage this procurement for business growth opportunities.
