Summary of the contracting process

RSPB Scotland is seeking a supplier to lease four vehicles for its PeacePlus nature projects in Northern Ireland: one van and three 4x4 double-cab pick-up vehicles. The vehicles will support work on waders in western and eastern areas, corncrake conservation and science. Project staff need to reach operational sites, including remote locations and rough or off-road terrain, and transport staff and equipment safely. This is a vehicle leasing requirement, rather than a purchase of vehicles. Delivery and use are across Northern Ireland. PeacePlus is a cross-border programme supported by the European Union and the UK and Irish governments and the Northern Ireland administration.

RSPB Scotland invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The contract is for a 33-month lease, from 16 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Bids were due by 30 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC; the bid opening was scheduled for the same time. Bids had to be submitted electronically, in English, and remain valid for 180 days after the deadline. The tender is a single lot covering all four vehicles, and alternative bids were not permitted. No estimated contract value or award evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

This opportunity is suited to vehicle leasing providers able to supply and manage a mixed fleet of vans and 4x4 double-cab pick-ups. Suppliers need to offer vehicles that are reliable, compliant and cost-effective, and appropriate for staff access to remote operational sites and travel over rough or off-road terrain. The fleet must also support safe transport of both personnel and equipment for conservation and science work across Northern Ireland. The requirement is a four-vehicle lease serving several project work packages, so it is relevant to suppliers with the capacity to provide the full fleet and support its use over the contract term. The tender document was to be read and completed by all tenderers.
