The requirement is for goods rather than services or construction, centred on supplying vehicles suitable for transporting medical equipment. The council is the buying organisation and Bradford is the named local authority. The scale is a three-vehicle fleet, indicating a requirement for a vehicle supplier able to provide multiple units and support their specification for medical equipment use. The procurement concerns vehicles for public-sector healthcare-related operations, rather than general transport or equipment-only supply. The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026, and the award date was 14 August 2026. Bell Truck Sales was selected for a contract valued at £149,256. The awarded contract period runs from 16 June 2026 to 15 June 2029. The underlying tender was recorded with an estimated value of £149,256 and a contract period from 29 July to 30 July 2026, but the awarded period governs the selected supplier’s delivery. The requirement was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available outcome identifies one supplier and one vehicle requirement covering all three vans. This award demonstrates established demand from Bradford Council for a small fleet of specialist medical equipment vans, delivered through a direct-award route and supplied by a large commercial vehicle business. A future competitor would need credible capability in commercial vehicle supply, the capacity to source and deliver three vehicles as a coordinated package, and the ability to understand or accommodate operational requirements associated with transporting medical equipment. Experience supplying councils or other public-sector organisations would help demonstrate familiarity with public purchasing expectations, documentation and delivery standards. The unsuccessful supplier should also assess whether it can compete at larger-supplier scale, since the recorded suitability position and successful supplier profile indicate that this requirement was not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs. ## Notice 3 x Medical Equipment Vans ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1e53bca-0530-4323-8440-8836c0f023e2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 28 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 16 Jun 2026 - 15 Jun 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £149,256 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £149,256 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council | | Locality | BRADFORD | | Postcode area | Bradford | | Postcode | BD1 1HX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE41 Bradford | | Local authority | Bradford | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Bradford West | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Bell Truck & Van | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34100000 - Motor vehicles ## Release History - 14 Aug 2026 at 08:01 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1e53bca-0530-4323-8440-8836c0f023e2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1e53bca-0530-4323-8440-8836c0f023e2 14th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=107724&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103277 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.bradford.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
