## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council procured Mercedes Sprinter van-conversion minibuses for its Fleet Services. This is a vehicle supply requirement for passenger transport, specifically minibuses designed to carry 10 or more people. The procurement covers the vehicles themselves; the published description does not set out conversion specifications, quantities or operational services. The purchasing organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council, and the supplier is based in Brighouse. No delivery location is stated, so the place where the vehicles are to be supplied or used cannot be identified from the procurement details. The requirement was handled as a single lot and awarded to one supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Treka Bus Limited on 1 June 2026. The award value is £354,336 excluding VAT, or £425,203.20 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 19 October 2027. The council made the award through the TPPL framework for the supply of passenger transport vehicles, using its bus-vehicle lot; this was a direct, non-competitive framework award. The process had one lot, and the recorded award is active. The procurement was evaluated and completed through the framework route; no separate evaluation criteria are stated.

For vehicle manufacturers and conversion specialists, this award shows Central Bedfordshire Council’s demand for Mercedes Sprinter-based minibuses for its fleet, sourced through the TPPL passenger transport vehicle framework. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable passenger vehicles and provide the required minibus conversion, with the ability to meet a council fleet requirement at this scale. Suppliers seeking comparable work would also need access to the relevant framework route, as this purchase was made without a separate competition. The award indicates that this buyer procures vehicles rather than a passenger transport operating service. The stated requirement gives no detail on vehicle configuration or conversion standards, so experience delivering compliant passenger minibus conversions and the capacity to fulfil a fleet order would be relevant capabilities.
