The procurement was conducted under a call-off from the GCA (formerly CCS) RM6422 Lot 5 framework agreement, focusing on Bluelight-light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes for emergency services. The process was a selective procurement method, finalised with an award on 15th July 2026.
