UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process managed by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London involved the successful leasing of two minibuses and one hybrid car, primarily through a direct procurement method, classified as below threshold and awarded without competition. This contract falls within the 'goods' industry category, specifically focusing on motor vehicles, and the completion of this process took place on 9th July 2025. Based on UK Parliamentary legislation 2023/54, the buyer is located in the City of London, and the supplier selected for this contract is Rivervale Minibus Limited, operating out of Brighton & Hove. The procurement stage has advanced to the award and contract phase, with the contract due to commence on 1st September 2025 and concluding on 1st September 2028.

This tender provides lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in vehicle leasing and transportation services, particularly those capable of supplying specialised fleet vehicles such as minibuses and hybrid cars. Although Rivervale Minibus Limited was contracted, the direct procurement method highlights opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing niche automotive solutions without formal competition. Businesses looking to grow in the government sector and enhance their portfolio in transport options tailored for public services would have found this contract advantageous for expansion.
