Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is buying five new, fully electric small vans for outright purchase. This is a vehicle supply contract, covering the supply of the vans rather than a leasing arrangement. The vehicles are classified as motor vehicles and electric vehicles. Delivery is in Lincolnshire. The requirement is a single lot, so suppliers are bidding to provide the five vans as one package rather than for separate vehicle lots.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The contract is for one year, from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2028. Its estimated value is £125,000 excluding VAT and £150,000 including VAT. The buyer set 23 November 2026 at 16:00 as the deadline for enquiries and 26 November 2026 at 18:00 as the deadline for submissions. The award basis is full compliance with the specification and best value. Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises located in Lincolnshire.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide five new, fully electric small vans as a single supply package, and to meet the specification in the bidding documents. The buyer’s stated basis for selection combines compliance with the requirements and best value, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate that their proposed vehicles meet the full specification as well as offering competitive value. The participation restriction means bidders must be SMEs or voluntary, community or social enterprises located in Lincolnshire. Vehicle dealers, electric-vehicle suppliers and manufacturers that meet those conditions and can fulfil the five-vehicle order are the most directly relevant businesses.
