Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton is in the planning stages of a procurement process titled "Council Fleet Decarbonisation," aiming to replace its vehicle fleet with net zero equivalents from July 2026 to December 2030. The procurement falls under the services category and is slated to cover various aspects related to air pollution and environmental impact assessments, with contracts expected to commence on 1 April 2027 and conclude on 1 April 2029. A crucial report is scheduled for Merton Council's Cabinet in the second to third quarter of 2026, outlining decisions regarding procurement progression.
