How many fleet and vehicle tenders are live in Scotland?
8 right now, from 8 public buyers, with 3 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in fleet and vehicle contracts?
Where a minimum turnover is stated (2 of the 8 notices we have read), it is typically £150k. The insurance named most often is employer's liability at around £5m. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win fleet and vehicle contracts?
Often, yes. 1 of the 8 live tenders in Scotland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 3 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Transport & fleet
Transport contracts usually check operator licences, vehicle standards and DBS checks for passenger work. Councils often run dynamic purchasing systems for home-to-school and patient transport that you can join at any time.
