Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured three 4x4 double-cab pick-up vehicles with high-roof canopies to replace existing fleet vehicles. This is a goods supply requirement covering vehicle bodies and associated vehicle provision, delivered in Swansea. The buyer is a sub-central public authority in Wales. The requirement is suited to suppliers that can provide complete commercial vehicles matching the specified double-cab, four-wheel-drive and high-roof canopy configuration, rather than general vehicle-related services alone. It indicates demand for fleet replacement vehicles used by the council, with the supplier responsible for supplying the vehicles required for that replacement programme.

The procurement was completed through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Hawkstone Farley Group Ltd. The contract was signed on 20 March 2026, covered 20 March to 30 April 2026, and had an awarded value of £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). Contract implementation ended on 30 April 2026, with a final value of £101,795.39 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The contract was terminated on 6 August 2026, with the reason classified as completed. The published outcome identifies the award as active, while the associated contract has ended. The procurement was evaluated within a limited competitive procedure rather than an open competition.

This award shows that Swansea requires substantial fleet replacement purchases involving specialist commercial vehicles, not merely routine maintenance or vehicle hire. A credible future competitor would need the ability to source and supply multiple 4x4 double-cab pick-ups, provide or arrange high-roof canopies, and meet the buyer’s technical specification as a coordinated vehicle package. Suppliers should be able to manage delivery of several vehicles, demonstrate dependable access to suitable manufacturers or distributors, and support public-sector fleet replacement requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused vehicle supplier rather than only by a large national organisation. Experience supplying comparable utility or commercial fleet vehicles would strengthen a competing proposition.
