Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire has completed a direct procurement process for the purchase of Ford Focus vehicles, facilitated through the local dealership TRUSTFORD, due to the discontinuation of the model. This award process falls under the category of public authority - sub-central government, located in Winsford, Cheshire. The procurement stage has progressed to the award phase, with the contract initiated for the period starting 29th July 2025 and concluding on 31st July 2026. The procurement method was direct and below threshold, allowing exemption on the grounds of a sole supplier, as stipulated by legal provisions under UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly in the automotive industry, to leverage relationships with governmental bodies by providing specialised goods. While this particular process was completed without competition, it sets a precedent for large-scale suppliers, like TRUSTFORD, in the motor vehicles category to engage in similar future opportunities. Businesses with strategic partnerships or sole supplier agreements, especially those that can offer unique or discontinued products, can find valuable prospects for growth in the public procurement landscape.
