UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) bought van refit services to convert a Renault E-Tech Master 4T into a track support base station. The work concerns adapting an electric van and installing or fitting the equipment needed for its use as a mobile support facility. The recorded delivery areas are in the West Midlands and East Midlands. This is a vehicle conversion and specialist fit-out requirement for a central government agency, rather than a purchase of a standard van alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The VCA used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Multi Vehicle Technology Limited. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 March 2027. Its value is £22,611 excluding VAT (£27,133 including VAT). The recorded outcome covers the van refit services; the procurement was for a single vehicle conversion. No evaluation criteria are recorded for the direct award.

For a supplier considering similar future work for the VCA, this award indicates demand for practical vehicle conversion capability: adapting a Renault E-Tech Master 4T and fitting it out as a track support base station. Credibility would rest on being able to deliver a complete, vehicle-specific refit, including the integration and installation work needed to make the van usable in its operational role. The award went to a specialist vehicle technology company, suggesting relevant experience in vehicle fit-outs and equipment installation would be valuable. This was a small, single-vehicle requirement, so suppliers able to handle a focused conversion project, rather than only large fleet programmes, are relevant. The route used was a direct award without competition.
