Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council, located at Lancaster Town Hall, Dalton Square, Lancaster, is the contracting authority for the procurement titled "ASNL Vehicle." This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on motor vehicles, and is aimed at supplying a wheelchair-accessible vehicle for ASNL. The procurement process is in the award stage as of 24 March 2026. The contract associated with this award commenced on 26 March 2026 and is set to end on 31 May 2026, with an estimated value of £61,169 GBP. The procurement method employed is direct, owing to its classification as below threshold, which indicates the absence of competition due to the relatively low value of the contract.
