UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has initiated a tender process to establish a framework for the purchase of coach-built van conversion accessibility minibuses over a four-year period. The procurement falls under the 'Buses and coaches' industry category and is conducted through an open procedure. Located in Beverley, United Kingdom, the tender is currently at the 'tender' stage, with the tender period ending on 8th September 2026. Interested businesses must submit enquiries by 1st September 2026, and the award decision is expected by 20th November 2026. The framework, valued at up to £6,000,000, seeks goods delivery primarily in the region of UKE12.

This procurement opportunity allows businesses to secure a long-term framework agreement, fostering growth by supplying accessible minibuses to a public authority. The contract is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises that specialise in vehicle conversions and are competitive in pricing, as the award criteria heavily weigh cost at 70%, alongside a 30% allocation for quality considerations. With the potential for significant financial value and the stability of a sole supplier framework over four years, businesses successful in this tender can benefit from a consistent workload and potential further opportunities with the contracting authority.
