Summary of the contracting process

Stevenage Borough Council procured four Suzuki Carry tippers, a category of commercial motor vehicles intended for the council’s operational vehicle requirements. The goods are motor vehicles rather than servicing, construction or transport-management services. Stevenage Borough Council is the public-sector buyer and the contracting authority responsible for the purchase. Delivery is specified within the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a single procurement lot and covered the supply of the four vehicles. Businesses relevant to this requirement include commercial vehicle dealers, specialist light-truck suppliers, vehicle importers and distributors able to source and provide Suzuki Carry tipper vehicles for a UK public authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One supplier was selected: Impex Trading Global Ltd trading as Supertrucks UK. The contract was signed on 20 May 2026 and ran from 20 May 2026 to 21 July 2026. Its gross value was £81,294. The award covered the single lot for the four Suzuki Carry tippers. The tender used a direct-award route rather than an open competitive process, so there was no competitive evaluation basis published for this purchase. The supplier is recorded as an active award recipient, and the contract is recorded as active. The procurement was below the relevant threshold.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Stevenage Borough Council for a small fleet of Suzuki Carry tipper vehicles supplied as a complete vehicle purchase. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need reliable access to the specified vehicle type, the ability to supply four units, and experience handling commercial vehicle orders for a public-sector buyer. Relevant strengths would include manufacturer or distributor relationships, dependable sourcing, vehicle specification and preparation, UK delivery arrangements, and the administrative capacity to complete a council purchase. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist vehicle business can satisfy this type of requirement. Businesses with comparable light commercial vehicle and tipper supply capability should monitor this buyer’s future vehicle requirements.
