UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Watford Borough Council bought vehicles for use in parks and on streets. The purchase is categorised as motor vehicles and is a goods contract, covering the Council’s Parks and Street Vehicles requirement. Delivery is in Watford, Hertfordshire. The procurement was handled by Watford Borough Council, which is also the buyer. The published scope identifies the vehicle purchase but does not break it down into particular vehicle types or operational specifications.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Watford Borough Council made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and awarded the single lot to LISTER WILDER LIMITED. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. Its value is £129,798 excluding VAT, or £155,757.60 including VAT. The award was for the purchase of parks and street vehicles. No separate evaluation basis is stated; the route was a direct award without competition.

The award shows that Watford Borough Council has bought vehicles to support its parks and street operations, with a requirement substantial enough to run over a multi-year contract. LISTER WILDER LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected through a direct award rather than a competitive process. Suppliers seeking to compete if this requirement returns to market should be able to supply motor vehicles suited to municipal parks and street work, and demonstrate the range and delivery capacity needed to serve a borough council over a sustained period. The published scope does not establish specialist vehicle specifications or required accreditations, so the clearest evidence of fit is relevant vehicle supply experience and the ability to meet the Council’s operational requirements.
