Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Fleet and Associated Services - Vehicles 2025-26", was led by Aster Group Limited, a housing association based in Devizes, United Kingdom. It falls under the motor vehicles industry category (CPV: 34100000) and involves the direct award of low commercial vehicles (LCV) for service delivery. The procurement method used was limited, with the process completed through a Direct Award via the CCS Framework (RM6244), which does not require prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £1,843,759.38, was awarded to Ford Motor Company Ltd and signed on 19th December 2025, marking the completion of the award stage.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for established vehicle manufacturers or suppliers looking to expand their market presence in the UK, particularly within public sector contracts. Although the procurement followed a direct award procedure under a pre-existing framework, businesses with products aligned to the framework's criteria stand to benefit from similar future opportunities. Large-scale operations with the capability to meet specific framework conditions and supply chain standards set by associations like Aster Group Limited will find themselves well-positioned to leverage such bids for growth and expansion.
