PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, initiated by Fife Council, involves the awarding of a contract for the purchase of nine leased electric Nissan vehicles. The procurement falls under the industry category of general public services and is located in Glenrothes, within the region UKM72. The process is currently at the award stage, and the contract was signed on 25th February 2025. This procurement was conducted using a limited method without prior publication, as the vehicles were already leased and purchasing them was deemed the best value for money solution.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in vehicle leasing and sales, particularly those that specialise in supplying electric vehicles. The process demonstrates the need for reliable suppliers who can offer existing leased vehicles for purchase, which can be an attractive option for councils seeking to extend their fleet economically. Large-scale suppliers, like "Car Hire (Day of Swansea) Ltd t/a Days Fleet," are well-positioned to leverage similar opportunities due to their ability to meet specific technical requirements and provide value-driven solutions.
