UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Great Yarmouth Borough Council procured the hire of small vans under 3.5 tonnes. The requirement is classified as goods and covers motor vehicles intended for transporting goods. The council is the public-sector buyer, based in Great Yarmouth. The awarded requirement relates to vehicle provision for activity connected with the council, with delivery in the surrounding Great Yarmouth area. This is a focused vehicle-hire opportunity rather than a broad transport, haulage or fleet-management contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include commercial vehicle-hire companies able to supply vans below the 3.5-tonne threshold for council use. The procurement covered one requirement, with the published scope centred on small-van hire rather than the purchase of vehicles or the provision of drivers.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Northgate Vehicle Hire Limited. It was run as a below-threshold procurement, with the published procedure details not identifying a specific method. The tender had one completed lot. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £38,500 excluding VAT and £46,200 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The award covers motor vehicles for transporting goods and relates to the single lot. The available procurement information does not set out a detailed scoring model, award weighting, supplier eligibility conditions or submission requirements, so the outcome should be read primarily as evidence of a completed small-van hire purchase by Great Yarmouth Borough Council.

This procurement demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for short-term or contracted access to small vans below 3.5 tonnes, for transporting goods in support of Great Yarmouth Borough Council activity. It is most relevant to established vehicle-hire businesses with access to suitable light commercial vehicles and the operational capacity to provide them for a public authority. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate reliable availability of the required van type, straightforward fleet allocation and the ability to support council requirements throughout the contract period. The award to a large specialist vehicle-hire company indicates that suppliers with a substantial commercial fleet and public-sector-ready operating arrangements are well placed. The single-lot structure also suits providers able to offer the requirement as one coordinated service.
