In plain English

Central Swindon North Parish Council wants to lease one new battery-electric medium panel van on a fully maintained contract hire deal, meaning the supplier provides the vehicle and covers its servicing and repairs for the lease period. Suppliers can quote for either a 36-month or a 60-month lease, based on about 7,500 miles a year, and the council will choose one.

What the buyer wants

• Submit separate prices for a 36-month lease and a 60-month lease, excluding VAT, with the estimated total including VAT declared separately • Provide a fully converted, compliant and operational electric panel van, delivered no later than 1 April 2027 • Include full maintenance for the lease term and a quality response, scored at 40% against 60% for price

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A supplier that cannot guarantee a fully converted, compliant and operational van by 1 April 2027, or that cannot offer a full maintenance package for the lease term, would most likely be excluded.
