Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford has completed a procurement process for the purchase of four electric commercial vehicles, awarding the contract to Renault Manchester. This process falls under the 'goods' industry category and is classified as 'below threshold - limited competition'. The procurement stage is in the 'award' phase, with the award notice dated 21st October 2025. The contract, valued at £127,663, covers a period from 1st November 2025 to 1st November 2028. The buying organisation, a sub-central government public authority, is based in Salford, UK, indicating that the procurement activities are regional, specifically benefiting the UKD34 area.

This tender presents a viable opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of electric vehicles, particularly those that can offer competitive pricing and comply with limited competition criteria. The procurement process involved obtaining three quotations from local suppliers, highlighting the potential for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage with public procurement opportunities in the region, provided they can meet the same criteria. Although the contract was awarded to a large company, SMEs are encouraged to compete in such tenders, which could lead to future business growth by establishing connections with public sector buyers like the University of Salford.
