Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council is seeking a supplier to provide one new hybrid petrol, long-wheelbase executive limousine saloon car for civic and mayoral duties. The requirement is classified as a vehicle fleet service and covers the vehicle, with the refinements, communication aids and safety features expected for a car of this calibre. The vehicle is for use in Derry and Strabane. The arrangement is described as contract hire, rather than a purchase of the vehicle. This is a single requirement for one vehicle, intended to provide executive transport for the Council’s civic and mayoral functions. The Council is the buying organisation and is based in Derry.

The Council invited tenders through an open competition for this below-threshold requirement. The enquiry deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12 noon, and the tender submission deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12 noon. Submissions were to be made through etendersNI. The published contract-hire description gives a 48-month agreement, while the stated contract period runs from 1 February 2027 to 1 February 2029. The estimated gross value is £50,000. There is one lot, covering the vehicle requirement. The award basis is set out in the tender documents; the published description directs suppliers to those documents for the detailed criteria.

This requirement is suited to vehicle leasing and fleet suppliers able to provide a new hybrid petrol executive saloon in a long-wheelbase configuration. Suppliers need to meet the expectations for a vehicle used on civic and mayoral duties, including suitable refinements, communication aids and safety features. The scale is a single-vehicle contract-hire requirement, so providers able to supply and support an individual executive vehicle may be relevant. The specification's stated purpose makes experience with executive or official-use vehicles potentially relevant, but no particular accreditation or supplier qualification is stated in the available procurement information.
