## Summary

The procurement process, led by Dorset Council, involved awarding a contract for up to five VW Transporter Shuttle Life Vehicles.

The procurement stage reached the award phase on 11th March 2026, with Dorset Council appointing Lookers Group as the supplier. The contract was valued at £182,481.5 and spans from 12th March to 12th April 2026. The tender period concluded on 27th January 2026, marking its completion status.
