Summary of the contracting process

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority is spearheading a procurement process titled "Pre-market Engagement - External Garage Works & Services" aimed at enhancing support for the North Yorkshire Police (NYP) and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services (NYFRS). The project is within the services industry category, specifically involving repair, maintenance, and associated services of vehicles and related equipment (CPV 50100000). Located primarily in North Yorkshire (Region UKE2), this plan is currently in the planning stage, with a significant market engagement exercise set to conclude by 27 June 2025. The engagement aims to inform the development of a service specification through supplier interactions and feedback, possibly moulding a competitive procurement process. Future communications about the procurement are expected by 2 October 2025.

This initiative offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle repair and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to get involved, as the procurement process aligns with their operational strengths and community-oriented goals. Engaging with this project could allow businesses to expand their reach by providing ongoing support to public services across North Yorkshire, fostering growth in the regional vehicle services sector through collaboration and innovation.
