Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council, located in Newtown St Boswells, conducted a procurement process for the purchase of four Transit 350 Double Cab L3 CPD Tippers. This contract, identified as WR-223, falls under the industry category of general public services with a specific focus on goods (CPV code 34134200) and was completed without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons. The procurement stage has moved from tender to award and was officially signed on 24th June 2025. The delivery location for these vehicles is designated as UKM91, and the total contract value amounted to £142,080.

This opportunity presents potential growth for businesses capable of supplying specific vehicle models directly and efficiently, especially those capable of handling government contracts under a limited procurement method. The contract was awarded to TrustFord Glasgow, a large-scale supplier, indicating that enterprises with the capability and resources to supply specialist vehicles could find similar tenders advantageous. Companies specialising in automotive supply, particularly those with experience in dealing with pre-registered vehicles, would be well-suited to compete for such government procurement contracts in future tenders.
