The procurement process aimed to engage an experienced auction provider for disposing of surplus fleet vehicles and spare parts as part of the Council's fleet reduction programme. This tender is categorised under services, specifically within the auction and vehicle fleet support services industry. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, ensuring transparency and competitiveness, with a value cap set at GBP 500,000. Although the tender reached the tender stage, with an end date of 19 May 2026, it eventually led to a tender cancellation on 5 June 2026 due to compliance failure by several bidders and the inability to secure sufficient competitive offers. This tender presented a notable opportunity for businesses experienced in auction services and vehicle fleet management to expand into the public sector. The contract offered an initial period of two years, with the potential for three additional one-year extensions, allowing for long-term partnership and growth with the City of Doncaster Council. The opportunity was open to businesses capable of ensuring a transparent and compliant process while achieving best value for the Council’s surplus vehicles. Businesses experienced in maintaining environmental and legal compliance, alongside data protection protocols, would find themselves well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity. However, with the recent cancellation, interested parties should monitor for future opportunities in this area as the Council may re-initiate the procurement to find a suitable service provider. ## Notice The City of Doncaster Council (The Council) is seeking to appoint a suitably experienced auction provider to dispose of surplus fleet vehicles and ad hoc spare parts as part of a fleet reduction programme.
