## Summary

The University of Strathclyde has successfully completed the procurement process for the purchase of vans to be utilised in its Estates Services in 2026. This contract was awarded through a call-off using a direct-award under the Crown Commercial Service framework, specifically under Lot 2 for the purchase of light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes. The process involved an open procedure and the contract was signed on 17 December 2025, with Ford Motor Company Ltd named as the supplier. The university operates from Glasgow, UK, while the vans will be delivered to the same location fulfiling the organisation's needs within the industry category of education.

This tender fosters market penetration opportunities for businesses within the automotive industry, particularly those specialising in light and medium commercial vehicle manufacture and supply. It chiefly benefits large-scale manufacturers like Ford Motor Company Ltd, who have the capability to meet specific procurement requirements under framework agreements. Businesses that specialise in the production of vehicles not exceeding 7.5 tonnes will find suitable growth opportunities in similar procurement endeavours, allowing them to expand service offerings and strengthen relationships with academic institutions or organisations governed by public law. Furthermore, any future modifications to the contract can be performed without a new procurement procedure, as allowed under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, providing adaptability for the supplier and the buyer.
