## Summary

East Lothian Council procured multiple vans for use in East Lothian. The requirement covered L2H2 and L3H2 vans, together with electric vans, under a single procurement lot. This is a goods contract for the supply of commercial vehicles rather than vehicle maintenance, leasing or transport services. The selected supplier was Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. The buying organisation is East Lothian Council, a local authority based in Haddington. The procurement formed part of the council’s vehicle supply requirements and was run as a mini-competition under the Halton Housing Framework for Supply of Vehicles. Businesses supplying new commercial vans, including electric models and different load-height configurations, are the closest match to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. It used an open procedure as a mini-competition under the Halton Housing Framework for Supply of Vehicles. The contract value is £1,415,109. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and is recorded as active. The requirement was evaluated through competition, with four electronic bids received. No bids came from SMEs; all four came from suppliers outside the EU. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. One lot covered the supply of L2H2, L3H2 and electric vans for East Lothian Council. The award relates to the full requirement, with no separate supplier or lot values published.

This award demonstrates established demand from East Lothian Council for a mixed fleet of commercial vans, including conventional L2H2 and L3H2 configurations and electric vehicles. A credible future competitor would need to supply several van types at once, match practical load and body specifications, and provide electric vehicle options alongside conventional models. The procurement route is also significant: suppliers need to understand framework mini-competitions and be able to respond electronically under an established vehicle-supply arrangement. The four bids show competition from experienced providers, while the absence of SME bids indicates that scale, manufacturer access or fleet-supply capacity may have been important. Vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers and fleet suppliers able to coordinate multi-model delivery would be well placed for comparable requirements from this buyer.
