## Summary

Southampton City Council has completed a procurement process for the purchase of a 7-seater car intended for a children’s home, classified under the industry category of second-hand transport vehicles. The procurement was managed under the direct procurement method, specifically below the threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 22 December 2025, and became active on 5 January 2026. The contract period extends until 4 January 2027, with Richmond Cars Limited being awarded the contract. The procurement is categorised as goods and took place in Southampton, United Kingdom, under the UKJ32 region.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in supplying transport vehicles, particularly those dealing in second-hand cars, to align with public sector demands and support local government initiatives. Large-scale suppliers already established in the market or those capable of providing competitive offers for specialised vehicle needs such as for community services would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. Engaging with such contracts can foster long-term relationships with government entities and potential opportunities for further collaborations. The direct procurement approach highlights opportunities for agile and responsive suppliers to rapidly meet specific public service needs.
