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

Renfrewshire Council, a regional local authority based in Paisley, has completed the procurement process for the acquisition of four L3 Double Cab Dropside Vehicles. The contract was awarded to Western Nissan, a large supplier located in Edinburgh, under a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award procedure compliant with the Crown Commercial Services Agreement for purchasing standard and specialist vehicles (RM6244). The procurement fell outside the scope of standard directive applications, with goods categorized under CPV code 42415200. The contract, valued at £130,662.40, was signed on 13 February 2026, supporting the council's general public service operations in Renfrewshire.

This procurement presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in automotive sales and providing commercial vehicles. Given the limited procurement process and direct award using the Crown Commercial Services Agreement, businesses with established frameworks for direct engagement with public authorities could efficiently leverage this method. The specifics of this procurement indicate potential for firms possessing niche expertise in vehicle supply to regional councils, particularly those capable of meeting compliance and procurement specifications in a streamlined manner. The contract serves as a benchmark for companies looking to expand their reach within Scotland's public service vehicle supply chain.
