Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting for itself and the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police, procured turnkey-converted emergency vehicles for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a goods purchase covering vehicles supplied ready for operational use, rather than a vehicle conversion service procured separately. The requirement falls within the emergency vehicles category (CPV 34114100) and was handled by the combined authority on behalf of the police chief constable. It is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, specialist emergency-service vehicle suppliers and businesses able to provide complete, converted vehicles for policing or related emergency-service operations in the Yorkshire and Humber area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 March 2026 to VOLKSWAGEN Group Limited. The awarded contract value is £128,977.75 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 31 March 2026 to 30 March 2029. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the BlueLight Commercial fleet framework, competed under the CCS framework for BlueLight cars and motorcycles for emergency services. The tender submission deadline was 17 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The requirement was treated as a single vehicle purchase, with the award made to one supplier. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates established demand from the York and North Yorkshire public-sector and policing community for turnkey emergency vehicles supplied by a large vehicle manufacturer. A credible future competitor would need to combine vehicle manufacturing or sourcing with the ability to deliver fully converted vehicles suitable for emergency-service operations. Relevant capability includes understanding police and emergency-service specifications, managing specialist vehicle integration, and supplying a dependable fleet rather than isolated standard cars. Suppliers would also need the scale, quality controls, delivery management and framework-access route expected for a multi-year public-sector vehicle contract. Businesses that can offer compliant emergency-service vehicles through BlueLight Commercial or comparable fleet frameworks are better placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
