Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council bought three heavy vehicles weighing more than 7.5 tonnes for its Roads, Transportation and Fleet Services. The vehicles are a direct replacement for existing fleet and are intended to support the Council’s continuing operational requirements. The work covers the supply and delivery of a range of heavy vehicles rather than a separate maintenance or leasing service. The buying organisation is South Lanarkshire Council, with Fleet Services as the operational customer. Delivery is for South Lanarkshire, centred on the Council’s Hamilton base. The procurement falls within the goods category and is classified under CPV 34100000, covering motor vehicles. This opportunity is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, commercial vehicle dealers, fleet suppliers and logistics providers able to supply and deliver heavy vehicles above the stated weight threshold.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. South Lanarkshire Council used a direct award under the Scotland Excel Heavy Vehicle Purchase Framework Agreement 03-21, described as a restricted procedure and selective procurement method. There was one electronic bid, and the contract was awarded to Motus Commercials Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 25 June 2026. Its value is £259,629. The single lot covered the supply and delivery of three heavy vehicles. The Council states that supplier quotations are compared with framework pricing to check that best value is achieved, following competition conducted through the collaborative framework. The framework route is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award relates to fleet replacement rather than an optional purchase programme.

This award demonstrates established demand from South Lanarkshire Council for sizeable heavy commercial vehicles to replace operational fleet. A credible future competitor would need the ability to source and supply vehicles above 7.5 tonnes, manage delivery to South Lanarkshire and support public-sector fleet requirements. The selected supplier was a large commercial vehicle business, indicating that scale, access to suitable vehicle ranges and dependable fulfilment are relevant strengths. Suppliers should also understand how to operate through the Scotland Excel Heavy Vehicle Purchase Framework and respond to call-off requirements under its terms. Commercial discipline matters: the Council compares supplier quotations with framework pricing to test value. Businesses with strong manufacturer or dealer relationships, public-sector framework capability and experience delivering replacement fleet would be well placed when this requirement returns.
