Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire Police bought a vehicle to add to its operational fleet. The procurement covers an emergency vehicle, specifically a police car or other vehicle for emergency services, classified under CPV 34114100. Delivery is associated with the West Midlands. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire is the buying authority, with Warwickshire Police identified as the buyer. This is a goods requirement rather than a vehicle maintenance, consultancy or construction contract. The purchase forms part of the police fleet and was made through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6244 vehicle framework, Lot 4 for Bluelight cars and motorcycles. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised vehicle dealers and specialist suppliers of cars intended for policing or emergency-service use.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using a direct award route under RM6244 Lot 4, Bluelight Cars and Motorcycles. The award was made to Toyota (GB) PLC on 21 September 2026 for £35,290.01 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 March 2027. Expected vehicle delivery was around February 2027, subject to purchase orders. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The process concerns one vehicle purchase rather than multiple lots. The award is active, and the procurement description states that the arrangement complies with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Although this purchase has already been awarded, it gives vehicle suppliers a clear indication of Warwickshire Police’s demand for additions to its operational fleet. A credible future competitor would need to supply emergency-service vehicles, particularly police cars or comparable Bluelight vehicles, and understand the practical requirements of policing fleets. Suppliers should be able to work through the relevant public-sector vehicle framework and support a direct call-off route where appropriate. The awarded supplier was a large vehicle company, but the requirement was assessed as suitable for SMEs, so smaller manufacturers, authorised dealers and specialist vehicle businesses may be commercially relevant if they can offer compliant vehicles, public-sector contracting capability and dependable fulfilment. Experience supplying police or other emergency services would help demonstrate suitability for a similar requirement from this buyer.
