Summary of the contracting process

The procurement was for the purchase of one vehicle for use by Lincolnshire Police. It is classified as a vehicle for the emergency services and falls within the goods category. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, based in Lincoln. The vehicle was intended for delivery in Lincoln. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses supplying vehicles for policing or other emergency-service operations, including vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealerships and fleet suppliers. The procurement concerns the supply of the vehicle itself rather than vehicle maintenance, leasing, fleet management or other associated services. The selected supplier was Cupra UK – Volkswagen Group Limited, a large vehicle company.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Cupra UK – Volkswagen Group Limited on 27 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a direct call-off from the BLC Fleet framework, reference BLC-Fleet-0020. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at noon. The awarded value was £79,405.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 29 July 2026 to 29 July 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £79,405.80. This was a single-vehicle purchase, with no separate lots identified. The published outcome records the award as active and the overall tender as complete.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Lincolnshire Police’s demand for a dedicated emergency-services vehicle acquired through a framework call-off. Businesses seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need to supply complete vehicles suitable for operational policing use, maintain access to the relevant fleet framework or an equivalent purchasing route, and manage delivery to the buyer’s operational location in Lincoln. The successful supplier was a large vehicle company, while the procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This points to a requirement best matched by established vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers or fleet suppliers with sufficient capacity to fulfil a standalone vehicle order.
