Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covered the purchase of vehicles for use by Lincolnshire Police, classified as vehicles for the emergency services. It was a goods requirement intended to support policing operations, with delivery in Lincoln. The buying organisation was the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, based in Lincoln. The requirement was handled as a fleet purchase rather than a service or construction contract, so relevant businesses are vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealers, fleet suppliers and specialists in supplying vehicles for emergency-service use. The awarded supplier was a large automotive business, indicating that the requirement was suited to established organisations able to provide compliant vehicles and manage delivery for a police fleet.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from the BLC Fleet framework, with a tender submission deadline of 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Skoda UK – Volkswagen Group Limited on 27 July 2026 for £79,863.60 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 29 July 2026 to 29 July 2026, covering a single day. The award is active. The recorded procurement value and awarded value are the same. The process was a direct award via the BLC Fleet framework, so competition took place through the framework route rather than through an open tender for this individual purchase.

For suppliers that did not win this purchase, the requirement provides a clear indication of Lincolnshire Police’s demand for emergency-service vehicles and its use of a fleet framework to source them. Businesses best placed for comparable work would have an established vehicle supply operation, access to suitable current models, reliable fleet fulfilment and the capacity to meet policing requirements. Experience supplying public-sector or emergency-service fleets would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where vehicles need to be dependable, fit for operational use and delivered through an agreed framework arrangement. Vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers and fleet specialists should monitor this buyer’s future requirements and ensure they can participate through the relevant framework route when comparable demand returns.
