Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon has completed a procurement process for the lease of two SWB Tippers as part of their Bereavement Services. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category with a focus on motor vehicles. The process culminated in an award dated 23rd June 2025, with Southern Motor Contracts Ltd as the successful supplier. The value of the contract is £84,000 gross (£70,000 net), and it covers a contract period from 27th June 2025 to 26th June 2029, with an option for a 12-month extension. The procurement method employed was limited competition, targeted below the threshold, ensuring a focused selection process. This contract pertains to the UKI62 region and stems from sub-central government procurement under the legal framework outlined in UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in supplying commercial vehicles, particularly within the public services and bereavement sectors. It illustrates a valuable prospect for SMEs like Southern Motor Contracts Ltd, who have successfully positioned themselves as a supplier to local government bodies. Businesses with expertise in vehicle leasing, particularly those that can offer flexible terms to match public sector needs, would find similar opportunities attractive. Engaging in such procurement processes allows for enhanced visibility in the public sector market and the possibility of securing long-term contracts with renewal options.
