Summary of the contracting process

The Hereford and Worcester Fire Authority is planning a public procurement process for the acquisition of Officer Response Cars, specifically standard and specialist vehicles under RM6244, with a focus on emergency vehicles. The procurement is in the planning stage as of 20 April 2026, and involves a selective method with award under a framework. The total value estimated for this contract is £850,000 GBP, and the delivery is expected across multiple regions within the United Kingdom. The intended contract period begins on 1 December 2026 and ends on 30 November 2030, making it a sizeable long-term opportunity for suppliers in the automobile industry.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacture or supply of emergency vehicles, particularly those capable of providing both standard and specialist models. Given the procurement's scale and framework award nature, larger firms or consortiums proficient in meeting substantial public sector orders would be particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process, tagged as 'above threshold,' prioritises quality and reliability, favouring businesses with a robust track record in delivering high-demand vehicle solutions. The tender covers a broad range of delivery regions, opening avenues for regional suppliers across the UK to engage with a significant government contract.
