Summary of the contracting process

Devon and Cornwall Police procured vehicle glazing services for police force vehicles across the South West of England. The requirement covers windscreen replacement and repair, supporting the maintenance and continued operation of operational vehicle fleets. It is classified as vehicle parts and accessories (CPV 34300000), but the practical service is specialist windscreen repair and replacement rather than general vehicle parts supply. The buying organisation is Devon and Cornwall Police, based in Exeter. Delivery is across the South West, so relevant suppliers need to provide service coverage for police vehicles in that area. The opportunity is categorised as goods and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 May 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was awarded on 10 June 2026. National Windscreens was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value of £240,000. The procurement’s estimated value was £250,000. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030. The award is active and covers the same South West police vehicle windscreen replacement and repair requirement. The published data does not set out separate lots or a detailed scoring model, so the stated route and outcome are the principal indicators of how the requirement was competed and awarded.

This procurement demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for a specialist vehicle glazing supplier serving police fleets across the South West. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability in windscreen repair and replacement, with the operational capacity and geographic coverage to support police vehicles across the area. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist providers may be commercially relevant where they can demonstrate reliable service delivery at fleet scale. Experience of managing vehicle downtime, arranging rapid repairs and replacements, maintaining consistent quality, and meeting the administrative and operational requirements of a framework call-off would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer’s requirement next reaches the market.
