UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "CWC26086 - EV Minibus (Ernest Bold Centre)" within the goods industry category. This procurement aimed to replace an old diesel vehicle with an electric vehicle to support the council's environmental goals and provide home collection services for users of the Ernest Bold Centre. The procurement was conducted using a direct method and awarded without competition, as it fell below the threshold. The awarding of the contract took place on 30th June 2026 with a contract period starting on 1st October 2026 and lasting up to 30th September 2029. This process is classified under the public authority sub-central government category, and the vehicle will operate in the UKG39 region, United Kingdom, primarily servicing the Ernest Bold Centre.

The contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in electric vehicles and related services, particularly those able to engage in direct procurement arrangements. GM Coachwork Limited, a large company in Newton Abbot, was awarded the contract, indicating that firms with established expertise in electric vehicle manufacturing and supply could find similar opportunities. Enterprises aiming to expand in the public sector, especially in environmentally focused projects, would be well-suited to pursue such tenders. The conclusion of this procurement process underscores the evolving focus on sustainable transport solutions, providing an avenue for businesses to align their growth strategies with public environmental initiatives.
