## Summary

The University of Edinburgh procured two 4x4 farm vehicles for the daily operation of its Large Animal Research and Imaging Facility. The vehicles are described as GMW POER 300 lux vehicles for operational requirements across the facility’s farm estate. This is a goods requirement involving the supply of standard or specialist vehicles, with delivery and use in Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh acted as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealerships, commercial vehicle distributors and suppliers able to provide robust 4x4 vehicles for agricultural or estate operations. The contract was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and classified under CPV 34113000, covering four-wheel-drive motor vehicles.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The tender record identifies an open procedure, but the lot describes the award as a direct award under the Government Commercial Agency RM6244 framework for standard and specialist vehicles. There was one bid, which was from an SME. A F Noble & Son (Penicuik) Ltd was awarded the single lot. The resulting contract is active, valued at £69,790 including the stated currency of GBP, and was signed on 13 July 2026. The award covered the purchase of two vehicles, with no options. The selected supplier acted as Isuzu (UK) Ltd’s nominated dealership. The procurement is therefore an awarded framework call-off rather than an uncompleted competition.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the procurement provides a clear example of the University of Edinburgh’s demand for specialist utility vehicles supporting a research facility’s farm estate. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable 4x4 commercial vehicles, the ability to supply the required make and model or an equivalent vehicle meeting the operational specification, and dealership or manufacturer-backed distribution arrangements. The successful supplier’s role as Isuzu (UK) Ltd’s nominated dealership indicates that recognised manufacturer authorisation and a dependable route to supply can matter. Suppliers should also be able to support public-sector purchasing through the relevant standard and specialist vehicle framework, manage delivery to Edinburgh, and demonstrate capacity to provide multiple vehicles for routine agricultural and estate operations.
