Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Scottish Borders Council focuses on the purchase of a street lighting vehicle, specifically a pole manipulator vehicle. This contract falls under the category of specialist vehicles within the general public services domain and operates in the UKM91 region. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and has reached the award stage as of May 2025. The contract has been awarded, and it was signed on 22nd April 2025, with the value pegged at £238,796 GBP. The vehicle will be delivered to the designated area within the Scottish Borders Council's jurisdiction.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of specialist vehicles, particularly those capable of delivering bespoke street lighting solutions. Enterprises classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this particularly advantageous, considering that Lothian Vehicle Body Builders Ltd, identified as an SME, successfully secured the contract. The open procurement method ensures a competitive yet transparent process, offering growth potential for businesses equipped to meet stringent public service requirements. With the contract now active, parties that had participated in the initial tender could explore similar future opportunities with Scottish Borders Council.
