## Summary

Lancashire County Council procured passenger cars for delivery in the North West: the original requirement covered four electric cars and 10 hybrid cars. The procurement outcome records that only the 10 hybrid cars were awarded; the four small electric cars were not included in the purchase. This is a vehicle supply requirement rather than a vehicle hire or fleet-management service. The buyer is Lancashire County Council, based in Preston. The cars were intended for the council’s fleet, although the procurement information does not describe their operational use or identify more specific delivery locations. The requirement was presented as one combined purchase, with no separate lot-level scope shown.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Nissan Motor (GB) Limited was selected to supply 10 hybrid cars for £190,140. The award was made on 6 August 2026, with the contract period running from 7 August to 7 September 2026. The earlier tender deadline was 29 January 2026. The initial estimated procurement value was £190,140, matching the awarded value. The process was presented through a public tender, but no specific procurement method or evaluation criteria are recorded. The tender also indicated that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Only the hybrid-car element was awarded; the four small electric cars in the original requirement were excluded from the outcome.

For suppliers considering comparable future vehicle purchases by Lancashire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a batch supply of hybrid passenger cars, with the council sourcing directly from a major vehicle manufacturer. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable hybrid cars in fleet quantities and deliver them within a short contract period. The successful supplier was Nissan Motor (GB) Limited, a large company, indicating that an established manufacturer or a dealer with reliable access to manufacturer-backed stock and delivery capacity would be well placed. The original requirement also included small electric cars, although those were not purchased in this award; suppliers able to cover both hybrid and small electric models may therefore be relevant when similar fleet requirements arise. The council marked the opportunity unsuitable for SMEs, which signals the scale and supplier profile it sought for this purchase.
