Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council has recently concluded a procurement process for the purchase of two fully electric minibuses, each with a capacity of 15 seats. The process was conducted under the CSKL & TPPL Bus Framework and utilised a selective procurement method, culminating in an award on 24th June 2026. The procurement, which is aimed at the delivery of goods, specifically electric vehicles, was categorised under sub-central government public authority. The contract, valued at £120,350, was awarded to Treka Bus Limited and relates to delivery in the Nottingham region (UKF1). Spanning a period from 24th June 2026 to 15th June 2027, this award signifies the completion stage of the procurement cycle.

This tender offers substantial prospects for businesses specialising in electric vehicle manufacturing, particularly those equipped to supply public transport solutions in line with sustainability goals. Companies akin to Treka Bus Limited, ideally those classified as SMEs or those experienced in framework agreements under similar procurement thresholds, stand to benefit significantly. Such contracts create avenues for further collaboration with government bodies seeking to enhance their electric vehicle fleets, thereby fostering growth through repeat business opportunities.
