Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thames Valley Police, acting as lead force for the Chiltern Transport Consortium, is buying specialist vehicle conversion services for its police vehicle programme. The requirement covers the supply, installation, maintenance and repair of specialist equipment, including police warning equipment. The work supports the conversion of vehicles for operational police use. The procurement is for services rather than vehicle supply alone, and encompasses equipment installation and ongoing support as well as conversion-related work. Delivery locations are described as the United Kingdom and a number of wider destinations; the listed delivery address includes Kidlington, Oxfordshire.

The procurement is complete and five suppliers were selected: INTOMOVE LTD, Pressfab EVO Ltd, Richell Vehicle Conversions Limited, Safeguard VP Ltd and Wilker UK Limited. The award date was 25 August 2026, and the award value is £201,980.71. The award period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender used a restricted procedure, with a submission deadline of 2 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was £8,115,058.60, with a stated minimum value of £6,762,548.83. The release does not separate the award value or scope by supplier, so these figures should not be taken as individual supplier allocations.

This award shows demand from Thames Valley Police and the Chiltern Transport Consortium for specialist police vehicle conversion, including supply, installation, maintenance and repair of vehicle equipment and warning systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to convert vehicles for operational police use and support the installed equipment throughout its service life, rather than simply supply components. The selection of five firms indicates that the requirement was awarded to multiple suppliers, making the ability to deliver this specialist work within a multi-supplier arrangement relevant. The opportunity is described as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so firms considering similar work should assess whether they have the organisational scale and specialist capability to meet the buyer’s requirements.ತ್ಸ
