Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the purchase of three Fiat Ducato vans under the title "The Purchase of Three Vans." The buying organisation, headquartered in Newtown St Boswells, concluded this procurement process using a limited method due to the immediate availability of the stock vehicles. The contract, valued at £87,075, was awarded on 28th August 2025 to A M Phillip Trucktech, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Paisley. The procurement belonged to the industry category of general public services and took place within the region noted as UKM91. The procurement did not involve a prior publication of a call for competition, reflecting technical reasons for the limited competition.

The procurement of these vehicles can present significant opportunities for suppliers within the automotive and transportation sectors, especially those capable of providing specific vehicle models at short notice. Businesses specialising in stock vehicle supply, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises, can find opportunities in similar tenders where immediate delivery is advantageous. Given the specific nature of the procurement method, businesses with exclusive access to certain stock or models, like A M Phillip Trucktech, are particularly well positioned to compete in tenders that bypass broader competitive bidding due to technical sufficiency or urgency.
