## Summary

Mid Suffolk District Council has awarded a procurement contract for the purchase of three Ford Transit vehicles, specifically two Ford Transit 500s and one Ford Transit 350. The procurement, classified under the goods category for motor vehicles, falls under a direct award process utilizing the TPPL framework. This contract, with a gross value of £211,865, was officially awarded on 4th August 2026, with delivery scheduled from 1st November 2026 to 31st March 2027. All transactions and deliveries will take place within the UKH14 region, and the Council's role as the buyer is notable for their status as a sub-central public authority.

The awarded contract to LOOKERS MOTOR GROUP LIMITED presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in motor vehicle supply and related services, particularly those familiar with public sector procurement processes. Large-scale suppliers, especially those already operating within or willing to expand to the UKH14 region, will find this direct procurement method advantageous as it reduces competition and simplifies the bidding process. Businesses with a focus on delivering high-quality vehicles to public entities may capitalize on similar future opportunities by aligning with frameworks like the TPPL, which can facilitate repeat engagements following competitive procedures.
