The UK government is buying one brand-new Luton van (a box van) that weighs between 7 and 7.5 tonnes and includes a tail lift for loading and unloading. This is a straightforward vehicle purchase, likely for a government department or agency that needs a single commercial van for their operations.
Requirements
- Vehicle must be new (not used or refurbished)
- Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVW) must be between 7 and 7.5 tonnes
- Must be a Luton van (fixed cargo box body, not a flatbed or other type)
- Must include a working tail lift as standard equipment
- Outright purchase only (not lease or hire arrangements)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply and deliver 1 x new 7-7.5t Luton van with tail lift
- Ensure vehicle meets all UK safety and emissions standards
- Arrange registration and paperwork transfer to the buyer
- Provide any manufacturer warranty documentation
How to Read This Tender
- 1GVW means the maximum safe weight the van can carry including the vehicle itself — check your van specification sheet matches this exactly, as being over or under will be rejected
- 2A Luton van is a specific type: it has a large rectangular cargo box (not open sides) — don't bid with a different van body type
- 3The tail lift is non-negotiable and must be included as part of the sale — verify this is fitted before delivery
- 4Check the tender documents for delivery location, timescale, and any additional specifications (colour, fuel type, special features) that might be mentioned
- 5Watch for hidden costs: clarify whether the price includes delivery, registration fees, road tax, and warranty in your bid
Tips for Small Businesses
- This is a small, simple contract — ideal for van dealers or fleet suppliers. As an SME, you can bid directly without needing to partner with larger firms, but check if the buyer has a preferred dealer list
- Pricing is critical here since it's a straightforward product. Research current market prices for new 7.5t Lutons with tail lifts to make sure your quote is competitive but profitable
- Clearly state delivery timescales and warranty terms in your bid — government buyers often have budget deadlines and need certainty on when they'll receive the van
