Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought vehicle repair services for Northamptonshire Police’s emergency vehicles. The requirement covered car and commercial vehicle repairs, including body repairs, together with spare parts for goods vehicles, vans and cars. Work was delivered in Northamptonshire. The procurement was a service requirement with an associated goods element, focused on keeping police emergency vehicles repaired and operational. The selected supplier, Castle Coachworks (Northampton) Limited, is based in Northampton and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing and fire and crime oversight in Northamptonshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition because it was below the applicable threshold. One supplier, Castle Coachworks (Northampton) Limited, received the award on 6 July 2025. The contract was signed on 6 July 2025, ran from 7 July 2025 to 6 July 2026, and was valued at £177,000 excluding VAT (£212,400 including VAT). The contract has been terminated because it was completed, with implementation ending on 6 July 2026 at a final value of £177,000 excluding VAT (£212,400 including VAT). The requirement was arranged as one lot. The award covered car repair services, vehicle body repairs and spare parts for cars, vans and goods vehicles.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for emergency-vehicle repair capability within Northamptonshire Police’s operating area. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need practical expertise in repairing cars, vans and goods vehicles, including accident or body repairs, and the ability to source and fit appropriate replacement parts. Credibility would also depend on maintaining vehicles used for emergency policing, supporting reliable turnaround and quality workmanship across a public-sector fleet. A local workshop or regional vehicle repair business with suitable premises, technicians, equipment and capacity for police and other emergency vehicles would be relevant. The awarded supplier’s SME status indicates that this scale of requirement can be delivered by an established specialist rather than only by a national vehicle-services group.
