Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by the AF184 Purchase of Vehicles for MLW, involves the acquisition of a range of vehicles for the Malawi-Liverpool-Wellcome Trust Research Programme. As a public authority from the sub-central government in the United Kingdom, specifically located in Liverpool, the organisation is seeking to fulfil its needs for motor vehicles through an active tender process. The tender, opened on 8th June 2026, uses an open procedure to source goods from suitable suppliers, with the submission deadline set for 9th July 2026. The contract is valued at approximately GBP 1,266,486 and is anticipated to cover multiple phases of procurement, including delivery to both the UK and Malawi.

This tender offers promising opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and delivery of motor vehicles, particularly those capable of international logistics and willing to manage complex delivery terms, such as DAP to Malawi. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with the ability to provide a diverse fleet. Given the nature of the project, businesses with a focus on quality and competitive pricing will have the advantage, as the evaluation criteria weigh quality at 70% and price at 30%. The contract period spans from 31st August 2026 to 30th August 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031, allowing for a prolonged business engagement.
