## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council procured Mercedes Sprinter minibuses for its Fleet Services. The purchase is for passenger transport vehicles, with vans also identified in the procurement classification. The delivery information includes Central Bedfordshire, the United Kingdom and a range of other locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The requirement is for vehicles rather than transport operations or vehicle maintenance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TREKA BUS LIMITED. The council used a direct award through Lot 3 of the TPPL framework for supplying passenger transport vehicles. The award was dated 1 October 2026, and the contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027. The awarded value is £425,203.20. The procurement records one vehicle requirement and a tender submission deadline of 23 October 2026. The award information does not set out evaluation criteria or a separate scoring basis.

This award shows demand from Central Bedfordshire Council for Mercedes Sprinter minibuses for its fleet, at a substantial vehicle-supply scale. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply passenger transport vehicles of this type and be able to meet the council’s fleet requirement. The purchase was made through a direct award under an established framework, so familiarity with the relevant framework route is commercially pertinent. The selected supplier, TREKA BUS LIMITED, demonstrates that a vehicle supplier was chosen to fulfil the requirement. The procurement is for goods, not for operating passenger services; suppliers whose business is limited to transport operations would therefore be less closely matched.
