Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process led by the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service focused on the acquisition of electric vehicles, specifically three Audi Q4 eTrons. This falls under the industry category of emergency vehicles, according to the CPV classification 34114100. The procurement, awarded on 16th June 2025, utilised a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6224 Lot 4. The entire process has now been completed, with the contract period running from 17th June 2025 to 17th August 2025. The vehicles will be delivered to the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This award provides opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and maintenance of electric vehicles, particularly those specialising in emergency vehicles. Though the contract was not specifically suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale suppliers like Tyneside Audi Sales, the successful bidder, were able to effectively meet the requirements. Businesses looking to expand into governmental contracts in the automotive sector should note the importance of frameworks and selective procurement methods in these processes.
