The Council is seeking 1 (ONE) fully maintained contract hire of one new battery-electric medium panel van.

Both contract durations will be independently evaluated using the published award criteria of 60% price and 40% quality. A Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) will be identified for each duration. The Council has no preferred contract duration and reserves the right to award one contract only, selecting either the 36-month or 60-month arrangement in accordance with the published evaluation methodology. The final award recommendation will be considered by Full Council in January 2027. Tender prices will be evaluated excluding VAT. The estimated contract value, including VAT, will be declared separately for statutory procurement purposes. The successful supplier must provide a fully converted, compliant and operational vehicle no later than 1 April 2027.[E8]
