Summary of the contracting process

Stoke on Trent City Council is planning a procurement process for the outright purchase of 28 cars, focusing on the supply of high-quality motor vehicles to meet manufacturer specifications. This opportunity falls under the goods category and is particularly relevant for businesses in the automotive industry. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a total estimated contract value of £840,000 (gross). Key activities include ongoing supplier engagement meetings and vehicle demonstrations at the council premises in Stoke-on-Trent, spanning from April 2026 until the end of June 2026. The procurement is set to commence in November 2026 and run through to October 2031, offering a substantial timeframe for participants. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Service Manager for more details.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers of motor vehicles, especially those that cater to standard specifications with durable construction. Companies specialising in car manufacturing, distribution, or dealerships with a focus on quality and durability would be well-suited to compete. The project allows businesses to establish long-term relationships with a public authority within the UK and showcases their products to a broader audience. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, opening avenues for business growth and expansion in working with sub-central government entities.
