## Summary

Coventry City Council bought two electric vans for its digital print and mailroom operations. The requirement is for vehicle supply, classified as motor vehicles, with delivery in the West Midlands. The vehicles are intended to support the Council’s print and mailroom activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ford Retail Limited on 14 October 2026. The award value was £43,530. The contract period runs from 14 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The Council used a direct award call-off from the TPPL vehicle purchase framework. The tender deadline was 6 October 2026. The opportunity was listed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future requirements from Coventry City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a small fleet of electric vehicles dedicated to print and mailroom operations. A credible competitor would need to supply two suitable electric vans and meet the operational needs of those services, while being able to compete through the buyer’s vehicle purchase framework route. The award went to Ford Retail Limited; the procurement gives no further detail about vehicle specifications or supplier qualifications.
