Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council procured the supply and delivery of one 16-seat bus with a taillift, together with a driver. This is a goods requirement for a passenger vehicle and associated driving service, classified under CPV 34100000. The vehicle and service are intended for delivery and use in Renfrewshire. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Paisley. The requirement concerns a complete operational vehicle solution rather than a general fleet supply: suppliers needed to provide the specified passenger capacity, taillift equipment, delivery and driving support. It was arranged as one lot, covering the single bus, its specified equipment and the driver requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Renfrewshire Council used a limited award procedure without publishing a prior call for competition. The contract was awarded through the CCS Purchase of Standard and Specialist Vehicles framework, reference RM6244, under a direct award route. Woodall-Nicholson Ltd was selected as supplier. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically, and the contract was signed on 5 August 2026. The contract value is £106,930 including the published currency, GBP. The process comprised one lot for the supply and delivery of the 16-seat bus with taillift. The award route was stated to be GPA compliant and outside the scope of the relevant directive.

For suppliers assessing future requirements from Renfrewshire Council, this award indicates demand for a complete, specialist passenger-vehicle solution: a single 16-seat bus fitted with a taillift, delivered for use in Renfrewshire and supported by a driver. A credible competitor would therefore need capability in supplying suitable passenger vehicles, integrating or providing taillift equipment, arranging delivery and providing competent driving support. The requirement was handled through a public-sector vehicle framework and fulfilled by a large specialist vehicle supplier, so relevant framework access, vehicle-sector capacity and experience delivering compliant vehicles would strengthen a future offer. The scale is a focused single-vehicle assignment rather than a large fleet programme.
