Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under consideration is managed by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Redcar, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "1 x 9-Seater Minibus", falls within the goods category, specifically motor vehicles. The procurement process reached the award and contract stages, with the contract signed on 1st October 2025 and expected to complete by 1st January 2026. This procurement was conducted via a direct award under the NEPO framework, aimed at acquiring a light commercial vehicle below the competitive threshold, with Lookers Motor Group Limited as the supplier.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in vehicle supply, particularly those capable of providing commercial vehicles such as minibuses. Although competition was not a factor in this specific procurement, the establishment of a successful business relationship with local councils like Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council can lead to repeat business and long-term contracts. Large-scale motor vehicle suppliers, like Lookers Motor Group Limited, with the ability to meet specific public sector requirements, are well-poised to benefit from such procurements.
