Each has an end date already published in its award notice. The incumbent knows the date. Most competitors find out when the re-tender appears, by which point the specification is written.

Common questions

Vehicles and transport equipment procurement, in short

Who buys vehicles and transport equipment in the UK public sector?

872 public sector organisations have awarded vehicles and transport equipment contracts since 2021. The most active are National Highways Limited (947 contracts), Leicester City Council (368 contracts), Birmingham City Council (173 contracts).

How much is a typical vehicles and transport equipment contract worth?

The median is £84k, across the 6,137 contracts of 6,257 that publish a value. A median rather than an average, because a single framework worth hundreds of millions would otherwise make the typical contract look far larger than it is.

When do vehicles and transport equipment contracts come up for renewal?

1,154 contracts in this category have an end date inside the next 18 months. End dates are published in the original award notice, so they are visible long before any re-tender is advertised, which is usually the point at which the specification is already written.

How do I find new vehicles and transport equipment tenders?

Notices are published across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, each with its own search. Tender Radar reads all four each weekday morning and scores new notices against your profile, alongside the contracts in this category approaching renewal.

Figures cover contract award notices published from January 2021 onward, with comprehensive coverage from 2023.
