## Summary

The University of Exeter procured a Canter MY21 3C13 manual 2,800 vehicle for transporting goods. This is a goods procurement covering a commercial motor vehicle, classified under CPV 34130000. The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, based at Northcote House in Exeter. The available information identifies the requirement as a single vehicle rather than a wider fleet, maintenance, leasing or transport-services arrangement. The selected supplier, Euro Commercials Limited, is based in Cardiff. The procurement therefore concerns the supply of a specific commercial vehicle to support the university’s goods-transport needs, with the buyer located in Exeter and the supplier operating from Cardiff.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and comprised one lot. Euro Commercials Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2027. Its value is £33,410 excluding VAT, or £40,009 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no comparative scoring basis or competing bid process is reported. This outcome records the University of Exeter’s purchase of the specified Canter commercial vehicle from the named supplier.

This award indicates a defined requirement for a commercial vehicle capable of transporting goods, rather than for general passenger transport or vehicle-related services. A future competitor would need to supply the specified Canter model or an acceptable equivalent, understand commercial-vehicle specifications, and manage delivery to meet the buyer’s operational needs. Euro Commercials Limited is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was fulfilled by an SME rather than only by a large national provider. Commercial-vehicle dealers and suppliers with access to Mitsubishi Fuso Canter stock, experience supplying public-sector organisations, and the administrative capacity to complete a direct purchase would be well placed for a comparable requirement from the University of Exeter.
