Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured vehicle repair services for Northamptonshire Police’s emergency vehicles. The requirement covers car repairs and the repair and maintenance of cars, with emergency vehicles forming the main asset type. It is primarily a service requirement, with associated goods included. Delivery covers the Northamptonshire area and the wider surrounding area represented in the procurement. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Wellingborough. The selected provider, Proline Specialist Finishing Limited, is an SME based in Northampton. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing vehicle repair, maintenance, finishing or associated parts and materials for police and other emergency-service fleets.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Proline Specialist Finishing Limited. It used a direct award below the threshold, without competition, and had one completed lot. The contract was signed on 13 August 2025 and runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027, with a maximum extension date of 13 August 2028. The awarded contract value is £177,000 excluding VAT, or £212,400 including VAT. The contract is active and includes a renewal option. The arrangement is a call-off contract with an upper value of £177,000 excluding VAT; the authority has no commitment to spend the full amount. The contract was varied on 27 July 2026 to extend it by a further 12 months.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for specialist vehicle repair and maintenance supporting a police emergency-vehicle fleet in Northamptonshire. Businesses considering similar future work would need practical capability in repairing cars and emergency vehicles, maintaining vehicles to operational standards, and providing associated parts or other goods where required. Credible suppliers would also need sufficient capacity to support a public-sector fleet reliably across the service area, including responsive handling of vehicles used for emergency duties. The incumbent is an SME specialising in vehicle finishing, indicating that a focused specialist provider can meet this type of requirement. Relevant evidence would include comparable fleet or emergency-service work, dependable turnaround, qualified repair staff and robust service arrangements.
