## Summary

Bolsover District Council purchased 11 small passenger cars for its mobile wardens. The vehicles are intended to carry equipment while remaining small enough for specific parking areas across the district. They must be hybrid and self-charging, with the specification shaped by vehicle demonstrations involving service users to confirm that the cars support day-to-day service delivery. All vehicles are to be supplied in red and include a three-year manufacturer warranty. This is a goods requirement for motor vehicles. The buying organisation is Bolsover District Council, based in Clowne, Derbyshire, and the vehicles are to be used across the Bolsover district. Suppliers serving public-sector fleets, supplying compact hybrid cars and able to meet a consistent colour, warranty and operational specification would be relevant to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. DECIDEBLOOM LIMITED was selected as supplier for the single lot. The recorded award value is £202,316.07 gross. The award was recorded on 14 September 2026, with the contract period running from 14 September 2026 to 20 December 2026. A signature milestone was scheduled for 14 September 2026. The purchase was evaluated against the Council’s service-delivery requirements, including the need to carry equipment, fit designated parking areas and meet the outcomes of vehicle demonstrations by service users. The requirement is for 11 vehicles, and the published award identifies motor vehicles as the relevant product category. The selected supplier is DECIDEBLOOM LIMITED.

This award provides a clear example of the Council’s demand for compact, self-charging hybrid passenger vehicles for mobile wardens, rather than general-purpose vehicles. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitable small hybrid cars, the capacity to supply 11 vehicles as a consistent fleet, and the ability to provide them in a specified colour with a three-year manufacturer warranty. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate that their vehicles can carry operational equipment while fitting the Council’s designated parking areas. Experience supporting public-sector or community-based mobile services, and the ability to arrange vehicle demonstrations that involve service users, would strengthen a supplier’s position. The procurement also shows that the Council may use a direct below-threshold route for this type of purchase.
