UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport, through the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, is procuring international heavy goods vehicle registration data to support policy development. The service covers registrations across primarily European countries and must provide several years of historical data. Required fields include each vehicle’s powertrain, weight class and body type. This is a data services requirement, suited to suppliers that collect, maintain, validate or supply structured vehicle-registration datasets. Delivery is for the Department for Transport’s policy work rather than a physical site-based service, with the data covering the relevant European markets identified in the tender. The requirement is a single service lot and concerns information provision rather than vehicle supply, fleet operation or transport services.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 5 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s e-portal. The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its estimated value is £20,000 excluding VAT, or £24,000 including VAT. The requirement is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% to technical quality and 30% to price, so the proposed data solution and its technical suitability carry greater weight than cost. The tender is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits specialist data providers, market-intelligence firms, vehicle-registration data owners and organisations able to aggregate reliable information from primarily European sources. Strong bidders will be able to provide several years of historic heavy goods vehicle registration data in a usable format, with consistent and accurate categorisation by powertrain, weight class and body type. Experience handling cross-border vehicle datasets, reconciling differing national classifications and explaining data quality or methodology would support a strong technical response. The technical element carries most of the evaluation weighting, favouring suppliers that can demonstrate the coverage, accuracy, structure and usability of their dataset. The buyer identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it accessible to capable specialist suppliers as well as larger data businesses.
