## Summary

Nottingham Trent University is hiring a Peugeot e-Partner van for its library services. This is a vehicle hire requirement, rather than a purchase of a vehicle, and the specified vehicle is an electric van. Delivery is in Nottingham. The procurement is for the university’s library services, with the vehicle hire arranged through a government vehicle-hire framework. The scope recorded is one Peugeot e-Partner; no further services or vehicle specifications are described. The university is the buyer and will use the vehicle for its library service needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sinclair Finance & Leasing Co Ltd. The award was made on 5 October 2026, for £11,849.23. The contract period runs from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2028. The university used a direct award call-off from the Crown Commercial Service framework for vehicle hire up to 3.5 tonnes, rather than a standalone open competition. The notice refers to the framework agreement’s closing date of 19 December 2022; this is not the contract period or the award date. One vehicle requirement is recorded, with no separate lots or evaluation criteria stated.

For vehicle leasing and fleet suppliers, this award demonstrates demand from Nottingham Trent University for a hired electric van to support library services. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would be able to supply and finance a Peugeot e-Partner or an appropriately specified equivalent, and manage the hire over a two-year term. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, and the procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The route was a direct call-off from a public-sector vehicle-hire framework, so framework access and the ability to fulfil its relevant vehicle category would matter. The requirement is narrow: suppliers focused on vehicle hire, electric vans and fleet finance are a closer fit than firms offering unrelated library products or services.
