The vehicles will support work on waders in western and eastern areas, corncrake conservation and science. Project staff need to reach operational sites, including remote locations and rough or off-road terrain, and transport staff and equipment safely. This is a vehicle leasing requirement, rather than a purchase of vehicles. Delivery and use are across Northern Ireland. PeacePlus is a cross-border programme supported by the European Union and the UK and Irish governments and the Northern Ireland administration. RSPB Scotland invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The contract is for a 33-month lease, from 16 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Bids were due by 30 October 2026 at 17:00 UTC; the bid opening was scheduled for the same time. Bids had to be submitted electronically, in English, and remain valid for 180 days after the deadline. The tender is a single lot covering all four vehicles, and alternative bids were not permitted. No estimated contract value or award evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details. This opportunity is suited to vehicle leasing providers able to supply and manage a mixed fleet of vans and 4x4 double-cab pick-ups. Suppliers need to offer vehicles that are reliable, compliant and cost-effective, and appropriate for staff access to remote operational sites and travel over rough or off-road terrain. The fleet must also support safe transport of both personnel and equipment for conservation and science work across Northern Ireland. The requirement is a four-vehicle lease serving several project work packages, so it is relevant to suppliers with the capacity to provide the full fleet and support its use over the contract term. The tender document was to be read and completed by all tenderers. ## Notice The lease of four vehicles (one van and three 4x4 double-cab pick-up vehicles) to support Work Packages 7 (Waders West), 8 (Waders East), 9 (Corncrake) and 10 (Science) in delivery of RSPB PeacePlus Nature projects in Northern Ireland until end of July 2029. ### Lot Information Lot 1 PEACEPLUS is a cross-border funding Programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) and supported by the European Union, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Government of Ireland, and the Northern Ireland administration. RSPB requires a reliable, compliant and cost-effective 33-month lease of four vehicles. The vehicles will enable project staff to access operational sites, including remote locations and rough or off-road terrain, and transport staff and equipment safely throughout the contract period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT565994 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 30 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Nov 2026 - 31 Jul 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RSPB Scotland | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Postcode area | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9DH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | TLN0 Northern Ireland, TLN06 Belfast, TLN0C Causeway Coast and Glens, TLN0F Mid and East Antrim, TLN0G Fermanagh and Omagh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34100000 - Motor vehicles - 34113000 - 4-wheel-drive vehicles - 34113200 - All-terrain vehicles - 34113300 - Off-road vehicles - 34136000 - Vans - 34136100 - Light vans ## Release History - 6 Oct 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT565994 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT565994 PEACEPLUS RSPB PeacePlus Nature Vehicle Lease Tender 2026-2029 - The lease of four vehicles (one van and three 4x4 double-cab pick-up vehicles) to support Work Packages 7 (Waders West), 8 (Waders East), 9 (Corncrake) and 10 (Science) in delivery of RSPB PeacePlus Nature projects in Northern Ireland until end of July 2029. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.rspb.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000844305 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=844305 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
