Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting as Fire and Rescue Authority, procured specialist motor vehicle conversion services for water rescue vehicles. The work involved converting bespoke and specialist vehicles to meet the operational needs of the fire and rescue service. Delivery was in Yorkshire and the Humber. This was a services requirement rather than a purchase of standard vehicles, and formed part of a wider public-sector vehicle procurement arrangement covering standard and specialist vehicles. Businesses relevant to this requirement include vehicle manufacturers, specialist vehicle converters, emergency-service vehicle integrators and engineering firms able to adapt vehicles for water rescue operations and deliver the required completed vehicles to the Authority’s operating area.

The procurement has been completed through a further competition, or call-off, under CCS Framework RM6244, Lot 10 for the conversion of bespoke and specialist vehicles. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2025 at 1pm. The contract was awarded to WILKER U.K. LIMITED on 7 August 2025 for £355,564.87 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 12 August 2025 to 11 August 2028. The award was active, and the tender used a selective procedure based on the framework call-off route. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier received the award.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates established demand from a fire and rescue authority for specialist conversion of water rescue vehicles, delivered through a public-sector vehicle framework and further competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in bespoke and specialist vehicle conversion, with the engineering, manufacturing and integration skills needed to produce operational water rescue vehicles. Relevant experience in emergency-service or other mission-critical vehicle work would help show that the supplier can meet demanding operational needs. The successful supplier was a large business, indicating that the requirement was sized and structured for an organisation with substantial delivery capacity. Framework access and effective call-off competition would also be commercially important.
