Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire purchased a Cupra motor vehicle for use in the North West, with delivery associated with Constabulary HQ in Winsford, Cheshire. The requirement falls within the goods category for motor vehicles (CPV 34100000). It was made under the Government Commercial Agency RM6244 framework, Lot 4, covering blue-light cars and motorcycles. The named supplier is Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited trading as CUPRA UK. The procurement therefore concerns the supply of a specific branded vehicle rather than vehicle maintenance, fleet management, consultancy or wider transport services. Businesses relevant to this requirement are vehicle manufacturers, authorised vehicle distributors and suppliers able to provide Cupra vehicles through the specified framework route.

This is a completed contract award. The contract was awarded to Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited trading as CUPRA UK on 27 August 2026 for £32,390.41 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 27 August 2026 to 26 August 2031. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement used the RM6244 Lot 4 framework for blue-light cars and motorcycles, with the method described as “Other”. The published information identifies the purchase as a motor vehicle and records an active award. The contract was evaluated through this framework procurement route; no separate quality, price weighting or scoring basis is stated in the available procurement details.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indicator of Cheshire policing demand for a Cupra vehicle supplied through a public-sector framework for blue-light cars and motorcycles. A credible future competitor would need access to the relevant framework route, the ability to supply Cupra vehicles, and the commercial capacity to support a public-sector vehicle purchase over a long operating period. The selected supplier’s status as Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited trading as CUPRA UK shows that direct manufacturer or authorised-brand supply was well placed for this requirement. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses assessing similar work should consider whether their scale, framework position and brand authorisation match this buyer’s purchasing model.
