Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council bought one Renault E-Master long-wheelbase L3H3 vehicle. This is a goods purchase of a motor vehicle for delivery in Northumberland. The requirement was procured through a framework agreement, with the council buying a specific van rather than commissioning a wider fleet or vehicle service. The vehicle’s stated specification is Renault E-Master LWB L3H3; the procurement description identifies a single unit. The buyer is Northumberland County Council, based in Morpeth. The purchase is a completed vehicle procurement, not a service or works contract, and the recorded award identifies Lookers Limited as the supplier. The purchase gives a clear indication of the council’s requirement for this type and configuration of electric commercial vehicle.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Lookers Limited. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and is active; its recorded value is £36,137.24. The council used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, awarding the below-threshold purchase through the TPPLHCCCH03 framework agreement. The procurement was divided into one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled; the overall tender is complete and the award and contract are active. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded for the lot. The award relates to the purchase of one Renault E-Master LWB L3H3 vehicle. No contract end date or duration is recorded, so the contract period cannot be stated from the published data.

For suppliers of electric commercial vehicles, this award shows Northumberland County Council buying a single Renault E-Master LWB L3H3 through an established framework rather than running a competition open to the market. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to supply this vehicle type and configuration and be able to transact through the relevant framework route. The recorded evaluation was based on price, so competitive pricing would be central to a comparable purchase. The single-unit requirement points to a modest vehicle supply opportunity, rather than a large fleet order or a vehicle maintenance contract. Vehicle dealers and commercial-vehicle suppliers with access to suitable electric vans and the capability to fulfil council purchases through public-sector frameworks are best placed to compete when this buyer has a similar need.
