## Summary

Gateshead Council has recently concluded the procurement process for the provision of two converted welfare vans, specifically 3.5t Ford Transit L3 H3 models, designated under Lot 2 of the TPPL Gateshead Council HCC. This procurement falls under the classification of welfare vehicles within the goods industry category and is set to be delivered in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tendering stage has been completed, with the contract officially awarded on 1st July 2026 to Lookers Group. The contract period extends from 2nd July 2026 to 2nd August 2026. The procurement method details are not specified, and the total contract value stands at £103,600 GBP.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle provision and conversion, particularly those capable of supplying welfare vehicles. The procurement does not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a competitive environment where established businesses with substantial operational capacity, like Lookers Group, can leverage their scale and expertise. Companies active in automotive supply, especially those with capabilities in vehicle customisation or conversion, will find this a lucrative prospect. The focus on welfare vehicles suggests an ongoing demand niche that businesses could tap into for future growth.
