This procurement falls under the industry category of "Spare parts for goods vehicles, vans, and cars". The contract is located in Doncaster, United Kingdom, under the procurement stage tagged as "tender". The tender process follows an open procedure with significant engagement occurring on or before the enquiry deadline of 7th August 2026, with tender submissions closing on 19th August 2026. The agreed framework duration is 48 months, with an expected annual expenditure of £50,000, although spending may vary as it is demand-driven.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, with the Council adopting a ranking method in supplier selection, providing a level playing field for diverse business submissions. The open nature of the process supports transparency and fosters competitive bids, while the possibility of extensions offers a longer-term business engagement potential.
