## Summary

Scottish Borders Council bought three Kia Commercial PV5 Cargo electric vans for its public-service operations. The specified vehicles are 120kW Essential long-range models with 71kWh batteries. This is a vehicle supply opportunity rather than a servicing, leasing or infrastructure project. Delivery is associated with the Scottish Borders, with the council headquartered at Newtown St Boswells. The procurement falls within goods, specifically electric commercial vans and motor vehicles (CPV 34144900). The requirement was for vehicles available as stock for immediate delivery, indicating a straightforward supply arrangement for a defined fleet purchase. Businesses relevant to this type of requirement include commercial vehicle dealers, manufacturers’ authorised distributors and suppliers able to source and deliver electric vans to public-sector specifications.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Lloyd Motor Kia. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £61,309.86. It covered one lot for all three vans. Scottish Borders Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the vehicles being stock available for immediate delivery and by the stated absence of competition for technical reasons. One bid was received, submitted electronically by an SME; it was also recorded as a foreign bid from outside the EU. The recorded award relates to the single lot and names Lloyd Motor Kia as the selected supplier.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Scottish Borders Council’s future electric commercial-vehicle requirements. A credible competitor would need access to Kia Commercial PV5 Cargo vans or closely matching vehicles, with the ability to meet the specified power, battery-range and Essential-trim requirements. The successful route depended on stock availability and immediate delivery, so suppliers would need reliable manufacturer or distributor relationships, demonstrable access to ready vehicles and efficient delivery capability in the Scottish Borders. The purchase also shows that an SME can compete successfully for a small, defined fleet requirement. Dealers and specialist electric-vehicle distributors with public-sector quotation, compliance and contract-administration experience would be well placed when a comparable requirement returns.
