Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought vehicle conversion services and associated goods for Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Authority. The requirement covers converting vehicles, supplying conversion parts, vehicle livery, emergency lighting and signage. The procurement combines goods with related services, including motor vehicle conversion work and emergency lighting equipment. Delivery is in Northamptonshire, covering the areas represented by North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire. The requirement is relevant to vehicle conversion specialists, emergency-service vehicle fit-out companies, suppliers of specialist lighting and signage, and businesses able to provide livery and associated conversion parts. The selected supplier, Mawsley Emergency Vehicle Specialist Ltd, is based near Northampton and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mawsley Emergency Vehicle Specialist Ltd under a single lot. It used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 20 August 2025 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2027. Its value is £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT; the authority stated that it was not committed to spending the full amount. The award is active and the contract is active. The purchase was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The arrangement is a call-off contract for vehicle conversions and associated services for the two Northamptonshire emergency-service authorities, with the requirement grouped into one completed lot.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand in Northamptonshire for specialist emergency-vehicle conversion and fit-out work. A credible competitor would need to convert operational vehicles, supply compatible conversion parts, install emergency lighting, and deliver durable livery and signage to an emergency-service standard. The work suits a specialist vehicle engineering or emergency-vehicle supplier able to combine workshop capability with sourcing and installation of specialist equipment. Suppliers should be able to manage a call-off arrangement and respond to varying orders rather than relying on one fixed vehicle build. The direct, below-threshold route shows that smaller specialist firms can be relevant to this buyer, particularly where they can provide an integrated local service covering conversion, lighting, signage, livery and associated support.
