Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service has successfully completed a procurement process for the purchase of two new Fiat Ducato vans to enhance their operational service delivery. This contract, valued at £61,125, falls under the industry category of "Vans" and the procurement was carried out through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework RM6244. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, which enabled the Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service to benefit from significant cost savings and manufacturer discounts. The contract started on 1st July 2026 and is set to end on 31st December 2026, with the delivery location in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender creates opportunities for SMEs, as evidenced by the selection of Adams Morey Ltd, an SME based in Southampton, as the local dealership supplier. Opportunities in this procurement process are geared towards businesses that specialise in vehicle supply, dealership services, and light vehicle conversions, given the requirement for additional specification enhancements and conversion works such as racking and dashcam installation. Businesses that can offer competitive pricing and value-added modifications to vehicles would find such tenders highly suitable for growth and establishing a strategic partnership with public service organisations.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Purchase of New Fiat Vans

Notice Description

The Authority requires the purchase of two new Fiat Ducato vans to support operational service delivery across the organisation. These vehicles will be utilised for operational logistics, transportation, and specialist fleet requirements to ensure continuity of service delivery. The Authority has identified that the most cost-effective and compliant route for procurement is via the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework RM6244 (Lot 2), which is valid from 29/11/2022 to 28/11/2026. This framework provides access to pre-approved suppliers and enables significant cost savings through pre-negotiated discounts. Following this approach, Fiat a subsidiary of Stellantis was selected and Adams Morey Ltd has been identified as the local dealership supplier based on their compliant offering and competitive pricing available through the framework. The procurement delivers a manufacturer discount of approximately 24%, representing clear value for money. Both vehicles require additional specification enhancements and light conversion works to ensure they are fit for purpose. These include items such as racking, glazing, ply lining, dashcam installation and other operational modifications. The procurement of these vehicles will ensure the Authority maintains operational capability, supports business continuity, and enables the continued delivery of critical services.
