Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service procured two new Fiat Ducato vans to support operational logistics, transportation and specialist fleet requirements across its organisation. The vehicles are intended to maintain operational capability and business continuity for critical services. Both vans require additional specification and light conversion works, including racking, glazing, ply lining, dashcam installation and other operational modifications. The procurement covers the supply of the vans and their operational enhancements, with delivery and use across the South East of England. It is a goods procurement for vans, classified under CPV 34136000. The selected manufacturer was Fiat, part of Stellantis, with Adams Morey Limited acting as the local dealership supplier.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Adams Morey Limited on 30 July 2026. It used a selective call-off from Crown Commercial Service Framework RM6244, with the tender submission deadline of 30 June 2026 at 3pm. The awarded value is £61,125, and the contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award followed assessment of a compliant offering and competitive pricing available through the framework. The procurement secured an approximate 24% manufacturer discount. Royal Berkshire Fire & Rescue Service identified the framework route as the most cost-effective and compliant method, using pre-approved suppliers and pre-negotiated discounts. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs.

This award indicates demand for specialist operational vans that can be supplied with practical fleet adaptations rather than as standard vehicles alone. A credible competing supplier would need access to suitable commercial vehicle manufacturers or dealerships, the ability to source Fiat Ducato-class vans, and experience coordinating conversion work such as racking, glazing, ply lining and dashcam installation. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate compliance with framework call-off requirements, offer competitive pricing and manage vehicle specification through to delivery. Local dealership or fleet-supply capability would be relevant, particularly where the buyer needs dependable after-sales support and continuity across an operational fleet. SMEs with established vehicle-conversion partners could be well placed for comparable requirements from this emergency service.
