## Summary

The University of Southampton has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Valley Graphics Van Lease," with the award stage finalised on 18th February 2026. This procurement, facilitated through a call-off from the CCS Framework RM6268, covers the lease of electric vans for the transport of goods, highlighting an emphasis on sustainability. Valued at £16,635.84, the contract spans from 19th February 2026 until 28th February 2030, and it is aimed at serving the South East region of the United Kingdom. Despite being a selective procurement method, the process was completed efficiently, with Lex Autolease Ltd awarded as the supplier.

Businesses involved in the supply of electric vehicles, particularly those engaged in the framework agreements, would find substantial growth opportunities through similar tenders, especially as environmental considerations continue to shape public procurement. With the contract spanning four years, consistent demand for maintenance and service may offer ongoing business to companies specialising in electric van production or associated services. Although not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms can leverage such agreements to enhance market presence in regional and academic sectors.
