## Summary

Liverpool City Council procured nine accessible minibuses for delivery in the North West of England. The requirement covers the full conversion of nine base vans into safe, accessible and fully compliant minibuses, rather than the supply of standard vehicles alone. The work includes specialist seating, wheelchair access systems such as lifts and ramps, wheelchair restraints and tracking, safety features, signage and emergency exits. This is a goods procurement for motor vehicles and other passenger cars (CPV 34100000). It is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, specialist vehicle converters and suppliers able to deliver accessible passenger transport vehicles with integrated mobility and safety equipment for local authority use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Treka Bus Ltd. Liverpool City Council received an estimated tender value of £806,000. The contract was awarded on 28 May 2026 for £701,856, with the contract period running from 8 June 2026 to 7 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 7 April 2026 at 12:00. The published procurement method detail is “Other”. The award is active and covers the requirement for nine converted accessible minibuses. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award outcome shows that Treka Bus Ltd was selected to provide the vehicles and conversion work for the council.

This award indicates established local-authority demand for small fleets of fully converted accessible minibuses, combining vehicle supply with specialist adaptation and compliance work. Suppliers competing for similar requirements should be able to manage the complete conversion of base vans and integrate specialist seating, wheelchair lifts or ramps, restraints, tracking systems, signage and emergency exits. Credibility will depend on demonstrating safe, compliant vehicle engineering, reliable delivery of multiple vehicles and the ability to coordinate the base vehicle and conversion elements as one service. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist converter or capable vehicle supplier may be well placed to compete, either independently or through a delivery partnership covering vehicle sourcing, accessibility systems and safety certification.

## Notice
