Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council bought vehicle parts for its vehicle fleet through the Scotland Excel Vehicle Parts Frameworks. The requirement covers a broad range of automotive parts and related vehicle components, including general vehicle equipment, vehicle engines and engine parts, tyres, vehicle parts and accessories, bodies and bodywork components, and miscellaneous vehicle equipment. The goods support the council’s operational vehicle needs across the Scottish Borders. The buying organisation is Scottish Borders Council, a local authority based at Council Headquarters in Newtown St Boswells. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or service contract, and the awarded supplier was Dingbro Ltd, an Aberdeen-based large business specialising in vehicle parts supply.

This is a completed contract award and cumulative-spend notice, not an invitation to tender. Scottish Borders Council used an open procedure to call off from the Scotland Excel Vehicle Parts Frameworks, identified as frameworks 0524 and 0720. The contract was awarded to Dingbro Ltd for the single vehicle-parts lot, with one bid recorded. The contract value is £79,996.98. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is active. The notice records £78,227.12 for a period starting 18 November 2025 and ending 17 November 2029, plus £1,769.86 for a period starting 26 May 2021 and ending 30 September 2025. The lot is complete; price and quality weightings did not apply to this cumulative-spend publication.

This award demonstrates established demand from Scottish Borders Council for a wide range of vehicle parts supplied through a collaborative public-sector framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the breadth of stock and technical knowledge to support general fleet maintenance, including engines, tyres, accessories, body components and other vehicle equipment. The successful supplier was a large business, while the recorded procurement attracted one bid and no SME bids, indicating that framework access and the ability to operate at council fleet scale may be important. Relevant businesses should be able to fulfil framework call-offs reliably across the Scottish Borders, manage varied part requirements and provide a comparable vehicle-parts distribution capability.
