## Summary

Scottish Borders Council has completed a procurement process for the purchase of a 26-tonne Renault ESB truck, classified under CPV codes 42415200 and 34139000, representing goods in the general public services industry category. The procurement was conducted through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the availability of the truck at a discounted demonstrator price due to technical reasons. The truck will be delivered to the Scottish Borders region (UKM91), and the contract was awarded to James A Cuthbertson Ltd. The procurement process has reached its award and contract stages with the signing date of the contract on 2nd May 2025, carrying a total value of £205,000.

This procurement opportunity highlights significant potential for business growth for suppliers within the automotive and heavy machinery sectors, particularly those capable of offering specialised vehicles like the Renault 26T ESB. As a limited competitive process was used, it indicates specific barriers to entry, meaning businesses with unique access to such vehicles or offering competitive pricing or established relationships with local authorities could benefit. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as James A Cuthbertson Ltd successfully seized the opportunity, demonstrating that SMEs with the right capabilities can effectively compete in these niche markets.
