## Summary

The University of Salford, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the purchase of an electric vehicle intended for its estates team. This procurement falls within the goods category and was conducted using a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. The contract was awarded to F.P.SMITH HOLDINGS (NEWARK AVENUE) LIMITED, and the value of the contract is £35,757.60. The procurement stage is complete, with the award confirmed on 24 June 2026, and the contract is set to span from 15 July 2026 to 30 July 2026. The delivery location is within the UKD3 region.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply and maintenance of motor vehicles, particularly those focused on electric vehicle solutions. Large-scale enterprises, such as F.P.SMITH HOLDINGS, that have the capacity to provide comprehensive vehicle solutions, including parts, accessories, and aftercare services, would likely find such tenders well-suited to their capabilities. Given the growing emphasis on sustainable and efficient transport solutions within public sectors, suppliers of electric vehicles can position themselves favourably in future procurement opportunities by demonstrating alignment with these priorities.
