Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves the Lancashire Constabulary as the buying organisation, aimed at purchasing 40 vehicles from the Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Ltd. The title of the tender is "Vehicle Purchase - May 2025," falling under the industry category of motor vehicles with a CPV code of 34100000. The delivery location is specified as the North West region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement stage is complete. This was conducted as a selective procurement through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tendering period ending on 30th April 2025, and the contract period running from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2026. The award was finalised on 30th April 2025.

This tender offers business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale automotive manufacturers capable of fulfilling substantial vehicle orders. The process, having utilised a selective procurement method, suggests that businesses participating in framework agreements are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Since the project involved a large purchase from an established supplier, firms with frameworks or capabilities to offer comprehensive vehicle solutions would find such opportunities advantageous to pursue, despite the notice indicating non-suitability for SMEs and VCSEs.
