## Summary

Darlington Borough Council procured four electric light commercial vehicles: two car-derived electric panel vans and two car-derived crew van electric panel vans. The requirement is categorised as specialist vehicles and covers the purchase of the vehicles rather than associated services or works. Delivery was for Darlington. The procurement was arranged through the council’s vehicle purchasing route and was intended to support its operational vehicle needs. The selected supplier, North East Truck and Van Limited, is based in Billingham and is recorded as a large organisation. Businesses relevant to this requirement include vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealers, commercial vehicle suppliers and organisations able to provide car-derived electric vans to a local authority specification.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. Darlington Borough Council used a limited procedure, specifically a call-off further competition under the EXT113 vehicle purchasing arrangement, without publishing a prior call for competition. One bid was recorded. The evaluation basis was 70% price and 30% quality. The contract was awarded to North East Truck and Van Limited, and the award is recorded as active. The contract value is £80,139.74 excluding any separately unstated amounts, in GBP. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract remain active. The requirement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates a local authority requirement for a small fleet of car-derived electric vans, including both panel van and crew van configurations. A credible competitor for similar future requirements would need to supply electric light commercial vehicles in these body styles and meet the council’s stated quality requirements while offering competitive pricing. The evaluation weighting shows that price was the dominant consideration, but quality still formed a substantial part of the decision. Suppliers with access to suitable electric vehicle stock, experience supplying public-sector or fleet customers, and the ability to support a concise vehicle-focused purchasing exercise would be well placed. The awarded supplier’s large-business profile also indicates that the requirement was fulfilled by an established commercial vehicle provider.
