Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, overseen by the Lancashire Constabulary, involved a vehicle purchase for their operations under the CCS RM6244 framework. This selective procurement method took the form of a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The contract, titled "Vehicle Purchase - April 2025," aimed at acquiring two motor vehicles, specifically Volvos, with a total value of £90,698.70. The procurement falls within the "Motor vehicles" industry category and targets suppliers located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tendering phase concluded on 19th March 2025, with the contract running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, marking its status as completed with the award published on 20th May 2025.

This contract presents a robust opportunity for companies like Volvo Car UK Limited, which was selected as the supplier, to strengthen their relationship with public sector clients such as law enforcement agencies. Businesses with expertise in the provision and maintenance of motor vehicles, particularly those with experience in working with public safety organisations, stand to benefit significantly from such procurement opportunities. However, it is worth noting that the suitability criteria of this tender did not favour SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for larger corporations capable of fulfilling such high-value contracts. Such procurements support economic growth by fostering long-term partnerships between large suppliers and public sector bodies.
