## Summary

Nottingham Trent University is hiring an electric catering van, specified as a Peugeot e-Partner M 100kW 52kWh Professional Plus automatic. This is a vehicle hire requirement, rather than a purchase of catering equipment or a broader catering service. The vehicle is for the university in Nottingham. The contract was awarded to Sinclair Finance & Leasing Co Ltd, a small and medium-sized supplier. The stated requirement centres on leasing one electric van; no further operational duties or vehicle fleet are described.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sinclair Finance & Leasing Co Ltd on 23 October 2026. The award value is £17,927.37. The contract period runs from 8 May 2027 to 7 May 2031. Nottingham Trent University made a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service vehicle-hire framework, using its vehicle-hire lot. The date of 19 December 2022 appearing in the procurement description is the framework agreement’s closing date, not the closing date for this university call-off. The procurement is recorded as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate award evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows demand at Nottingham Trent University for a long-term lease of a specified electric passenger van configured for catering use. Suppliers positioned for a comparable requirement would need to provide the stated vehicle specification through an eligible vehicle-hire framework route, and be able to support a multi-year lease. The selected supplier is an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this type of requirement is not limited to large suppliers. The evidence is specific to vehicle leasing for this university; it does not establish a need for catering operations, vehicle maintenance or fleet-wide services.
