## Summary

Southampton City Council has completed a procurement process for the purchase of a 7-seater car intended for a children's home. The tender, identified by SCC-SMS-0958a, falls under the category of goods, specifically second-hand transport vehicles, and was conducted using a direct procurement method due to its below-threshold status. The process did not involve competition, and the contract was awarded to RICHMOND CARS LIMITED. The procurement utilised the legal basis of the UK Public Contracts Regulations, referencing 2023/54. The process took place in Southampton, UK, with the contract being signed on 28th January 2026 and spanning from 2nd February 2026 to 1st February 2027. The contract's gross value is £21,800.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply of transport vehicles, particularly those adept at dealing with public sector clients. Companies like car dealerships, especially those with experience in providing second-hand vehicles, would find such tenders appealing. The direct purchase approach indicates a potential for strong relationships with sub-central government entities. Business growth can be fostered by understanding the requirements of local government bodies such as Southampton City Council, who frequently require specialised vehicle solutions to support community services.
