Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council procured a replacement workshop van, a commercial vehicle purchase. The requirement was for one van supplied to the council. The procurement was managed by Erewash Borough Council, based in Ilkeston.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council made a direct award through Nottingham City Council’s Light Commercial Vehicles Framework. Mertrux Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 25 September to 6 October 2026. Its value is £60,041.04 excluding VAT, or £72,049.25 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. The published information does not state an award date.

This purchase shows demand from Erewash Borough Council for replacement workshop vans, awarded through a light commercial vehicles framework. Suppliers aiming to compete for a similar requirement would need to supply commercial vans and be able to meet the council’s vehicle needs. Mertrux Limited, a large supplier, won this contract. The direct award route indicates that access to an appropriate framework is commercially relevant for this type of council purchase. Vehicle dealers and commercial vehicle suppliers already equipped to sell through public-sector frameworks are therefore the closest fit.
