UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council purchased a fleet support vehicle for its workshop technicians. The vehicle is intended to be a suitable and reliable tool for continuing to deliver efficient services to fleet vehicles across the borough of Rotherham. This is a vehicle supply requirement within the motor vehicle category (CPV 34100000), rather than a vehicle maintenance or workshop-services contract. The buying organisation is Rotherham Borough Council, and the operational delivery area is Rotherham. The requirement may suit vehicle dealers, commercial vehicle suppliers and specialist fleet-support vehicle providers able to supply a dependable vehicle for use by a local-authority fleet workshop. The procurement covered a single requirement and was not divided into separate service or geographic packages.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender procedure. One award was made to TGS (UK) LTD, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026, starts on 7 September 2026 and runs to 1 February 2027. Its gross value is £65,926.46 including taxes, in GBP. A five-year warranty is available after receipt and acceptance of the vehicle, and the contract records a maximum extent date of 1 February 2033 in connection with the renewal provision. The award was evaluated for the supply of the vehicle requirement, with the published procurement information identifying the purchase as goods and the tender as complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a reliable fleet support vehicle to keep a council workshop operating efficiently across its vehicle fleet. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a vehicle suitable for workshop technicians and capable of supporting practical fleet-service operations, with dependable performance and acceptance arrangements. TGS (UK) LTD, identified as an SME, shows that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist supplier rather than only a large national vehicle manufacturer or distributor. The five-year warranty option indicates that after-sales assurance and longer-term vehicle reliability are commercially relevant. Suppliers with strong vehicle sourcing, specification-matching, delivery and warranty-support capabilities would be well placed to compete when this council next requires a similar vehicle.
