Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council bought and arranged delivery of one 7.5-tonne, 4-metre Multilift demountable-body vehicle. The vehicle requires a 4x2 chassis and a tow bar. This is a goods supply requirement for a heavy or municipal vehicle, classified under CPV 34100000. Delivery is to Renfrewshire. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was handled as a single lot. The purchase is intended to add a specified vehicle to the council’s operational fleet, combining the base chassis, Multilift body and towing capability in one delivered vehicle. Suppliers in the commercial vehicle, municipal fleet, vehicle body-building and specialist demountable-equipment sectors would find the requirement most directly relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Renfrewshire Council made a limited award without publishing a prior call for competition, using a direct award from the Scotland Excel Framework for Supply and Delivery of Heavy and Municipal Vehicles 03/21. Lothian Vehicle Body Builders Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is recorded as active. Its value is £86,626. The process received one bid, which was from an SME, and that bid was submitted electronically. The framework route was stated to be GPA compliant. The requirement had no additional purchase options. No separate award value or award date is published in the process information.

This award shows a defined requirement for a complete municipal vehicle rather than a general vehicle supply: a 7.5-tonne Multilift demountable body on a 4x2 chassis, four metres long, with a tow bar, supplied and delivered to the council’s area. A credible future competitor would need to source or build this vehicle configuration, integrate the body and chassis correctly, provide the required towing specification and manage delivery. Experience in heavy commercial vehicles, municipal fleets, demountable bodies or vehicle body building would be directly relevant. The route also indicates that suppliers seeking similar council work should understand and qualify for an appropriate Scotland Excel framework, rather than relying only on open tender opportunities.
