Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, involves the direct purchase of a single electric vehicle using the CCS RM6244 framework. The procurement falls under the 'Electric vehicles' industry category, specifically classified as the E-DELIVER 5 L1 H2 model. The council applied a limited procurement method, opting for a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, rationalising this approach as falling outside the directive's application scope. The contract, valued at £34,100, was awarded to J S HOLMES, an SME based in Wisbech St Mary. The procurement activity reached completion with the contract signed on 22nd December 2025, with delivery slated for the region coded as UKH16.

This tender represents a targeted business opportunity for suppliers within the electric vehicle sector, particularly those capable of responding to direct awards and operating within framework agreements. Businesses like J S HOLMES, which successfully secured the contract, exemplify the type of entities well-positioned to grow from such opportunities, especially those that can navigate framework agreements and offer competitive pricing. Although the lot status was initially marked as cancelled, the contract's conclusion and active status suggest a return to execution, opening potential avenues for small and medium enterprises in the electric vehicle supply domain to expand their portfolio and market reach.
