UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland is buying vehicle accident repair services for Cleveland Police, Durham Constabulary and Northumbria Police. The work covers repair and maintenance of motor vehicles and associated equipment, including high-performance and low-performance vehicles, both marked and unmarked. The requirement is divided between the three forces: Cleveland, Northumbria and Durham each have lots for high-performance marked and unmarked vehicles, low-performance marked vehicles, and low-performance unmarked vehicles. Delivery is across the North East of England, serving the police fleet operations in Cleveland, Durham and Northumbria. This is a public-sector fleet repair requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract, and is likely to suit businesses providing accident damage assessment, bodywork, mechanical repair and associated vehicle restoration services.

The procurement has reached tender: the three police organisations invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. It is above threshold and will establish a framework agreement covering nine lots. Offers had to be submitted by 24 August 2026 at 12:00 noon, with electronic submission allowed in English. The contract period for each lot is 26 December 2026 to 25 December 2029, with provision for two 12-month renewals, giving a maximum extent to 25 December 2031. The total estimated value is £4.5 million excluding VAT. Evaluation is weighted 80% quality and 20% price for every lot. The planned award decision date is 30 November 2026. A supplier open day took place on 20 February 2026 to explain fleet sizes, vehicle types and expected accident repairs.

This opportunity suits established vehicle accident repair businesses with the facilities, equipment and skilled staff to restore police vehicles after collisions and return them to operational use. Suppliers should be able to handle both high-performance and low-performance vehicles, and work on marked and unmarked fleets. Capability across vehicle body repair, paintwork, mechanical rectification, inspection, repair estimation and quality control would be relevant to the scope. Businesses able to support police fleet requirements across Cleveland, Durham and Northumbria are best placed, particularly those with suitable workshop capacity and reliable arrangements for managing different vehicle categories. The lot structure allows suppliers to target a specific force and vehicle type; the Cleveland high-performance lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Quality carries substantially more weight than price in evaluation.
