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

Renfrewshire Council procured and awarded the supply and delivery of two 7.5-tonne vehicles, each fitted with a 4-metre Multilift demountable body. This is a goods requirement for heavy and municipal vehicles, classified under CPV 34100000, with delivery in Renfrewshire. The vehicles are intended to provide the council with demountable-body capacity for its operational needs. The buying organisation is Renfrewshire Council, a local authority based in Paisley. The requirement was arranged as one lot and covers the complete supply and delivery of both vehicles. Businesses active in manufacturing, supplying, body-building or delivering heavy municipal vehicles would recognise this as a specialist fleet supply requirement rather than a general vehicle purchase or a vehicle maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Lothian Vehicle Body Builders Ltd. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and has an active value of £167,502. The council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, through a direct award from the Scotland Excel Framework for Supply and Delivery of Heavy and Municipal Vehicles 03/21, stated to be GPA compliant. There was one bid for the lot, submitted electronically by an SME. The award covered the single lot for two 7.5-tonne, 4-metre Multilift demountable-body vehicles. The procurement classification rationale records that the requirement falls outside the scope of the applicable directive.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established demand from Renfrewshire Council for specialist heavy municipal vehicles with Multilift demountable bodies. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply two vehicles at the specified 7.5-tonne size, provide 4-metre demountable bodies, and manage delivery to Renfrewshire. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national fleet provider. The route used also matters commercially: suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need access to, or a relationship with, the relevant Scotland Excel framework and the ability to meet its requirements for direct-award call-offs.
