Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire purchased a Skoda motor vehicle for delivery to the Cheshire policing operation in Winsford, Cheshire, under the RM6244 Lot 4 Bluelight Cars and Motorcycles framework. The procurement covers a goods supply rather than works or services, with the vehicle classified under CPV 34100000, motor vehicles. The named buyer is The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, based at Constabulary HQ in Winsford. The awarded supplier is Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited trading as Skoda UK. The requirement is therefore relevant to vehicle manufacturers, authorised vehicle distributors and suppliers able to provide Skoda vehicles for blue-light or policing use through the relevant framework arrangement. The delivery information identifies Winsford and the North West of England.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under RM6244 Lot 4, Bluelight Cars and Motorcycles. The tender deadline was 1 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 17 August 2026 to Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited trading as Skoda UK. The awarded value was £26,025.50, with the same value recorded for the procurement. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2031. The award is active. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The stated procurement method detail is ‘Other’, alongside the description of a direct award. The result demonstrates a single-vehicle purchase rather than a multi-lot competition or multiple-supplier award.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire purchases Skoda vehicles for its policing operation through a specialised blue-light vehicle framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitable Skoda vehicles, the ability to supply a complete vehicle rather than an associated service, and eligibility to operate through the RM6244 Lot 4 Bluelight Cars and Motorcycles route. The selected supplier is Skoda UK, so direct manufacturer or authorised-distributor status appears commercially relevant to this buyer’s purchasing pattern. The requirement is small in unit scale but sits within a five-year vehicle contract, making framework access, dependable supply and experience of public-sector or blue-light vehicle procurement important points for market positioning.
