## Summary

West Dunbartonshire Council procured the supply and delivery of a mobile library bus for use in West Dunbartonshire. The vehicle is to include disabled access through a wheelchair-accessible tail lift, specialist conversion and body works, and a complete interior fit-out. The requirement also covers the associated warranty and servicing arrangements set out in the tender documents. This is a specialist vehicle supply and conversion requirement, classified under CPV 34144760 for mobile library vehicles. It would suit manufacturers, specialist vehicle converters, commercial vehicle bodybuilders and suppliers able to deliver a finished public-service vehicle to the council’s requirements. The buying organisation is West Dunbartonshire Council, based in Dumbarton, and the delivery location is West Dunbartonshire.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Torton Bodies Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract value is £173,955, and it was signed on 9 September 2026. The procurement was recorded as an open procedure, with the requirement delivered as a call-off from the NEPO224 framework for the acquisition and conversion of heavy goods and specialist vehicles, including waste skips, containers and bins. The relevant framework lot covers specialist conversions up to 44 tonnes. The lot was described as a direct award under that framework. One bid was received, submitted electronically by an SME. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a specialist, accessible vehicle rather than a standard bus or off-the-shelf commercial vehicle. A credible future supplier would need the capability to convert a heavy vehicle into a mobile library, including structural body modifications, wheelchair access and a practical interior fit-out. Experience of integrating public-facing facilities into commercial vehicles would be relevant, alongside the ability to meet detailed technical specifications and provide dependable warranty and servicing support. Suppliers should also understand framework call-off routes for specialist vehicle conversions and be able to deliver a complete, tested vehicle to a local authority. The successful bidder was an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist work can be delivered by a focused vehicle conversion business.
