UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Vehicle Certification Agency bought van refit services to convert a Renault E-Tech Master 4T van into a track support base station. The work involves changing the vehicle for its intended operational use, rather than supplying a standard unmodified van. The buying organisation is the Vehicle Certification Agency, a central government agency. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The service is classified as installation of general-purpose machinery and equipment, although the practical requirement is a specialist vehicle conversion and refit. This is a single, focused requirement for adapting one specified electric van, rather than a wider fleet supply or ongoing vehicle maintenance arrangement.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The Vehicle Certification Agency selected MULTI VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, and the contract is active. It was procured by direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. 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 procurement has one lot, covering the van refit service. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and contract value; no separate award value or evaluation basis is provided in the process information. The requirement was for conversion of the specified Renault E-Tech Master 4T to serve as a track support base station.

This award shows that the Vehicle Certification Agency has a specific requirement for converting vans into operational support vehicles. A supplier aiming to compete for comparable work from this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to refit and adapt a specified vehicle for a defined operational purpose, including integrating the changes needed for use as a track support base station. The contract was placed directly, without competition, so the outcome does not provide evidence of a competitive scoring model or published technical thresholds. The selected supplier is a small business, showing that a smaller specialist provider was selected for this focused service. The opportunity is most relevant to vehicle conversion and refit businesses able to deliver a tailored, single-vehicle project for a public-sector customer.
