Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service involved the acquisition of five fleet vehicles, under the title "Replacement Service Vehicles x 5". This procurement fell under the motor vehicles industry category (CPV code 34100000) and was specifically conducted through a selective procurement method, as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Framework RM6244. Located in North East England, the contract was awarded to Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Ltd, and the process reached the award stage with a total value of £105,865. The tender period concluded on 8th May 2026, with the contract set to commence on 11th May 2026 and conclude on 17th August 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of fleet or motor vehicles, enabling them to expand their client base within the public sector. It is particularly suited to larger enterprises or those capable of leveraging framework agreements, such as the mentioned Crown Commercial Framework, to secure government contracts. Small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find it challenging to directly compete due to the selectivity and scale of the procurement method used. Nevertheless, developing partnerships or sub-contracting arrangements with larger companies, like Volkswagen, might provide avenues for smaller businesses to engage in similar opportunities in the future.
