UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority, a sub-central government public authority, has finalised the award of a contract for a "Modified Estates Vehicle". This procurement, concluded on 8th May 2026, pertains to the automotive sector and involves the acquisition of a van with a tail lift intended for the Estates team. This vehicle will aid in grounds maintenance and equipment movement within the Tyne and Wear region (UKC23), United Kingdom. The procurement was executed through a direct method below the threshold, without a competitive process, and the contract was valued at £45,540 gross. The contract term was notably brief, lasting for a single day on April 18th, 2026, with the contract being signed on 17th April 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for businesses in the motor vehicles industry capable of providing customised commercial vehicles. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could benefit from such contracts, particularly those with expertise in delivering specialised vehicle modifications and equipment. Given the direct nature of the procurement method, businesses that maintain a close relationship with governmental bodies and can respond swiftly to urgent needs are well-suited to engage in similar opportunities in the future. The awarded supplier, David Spear Commercials Limited, exemplifies an SME that successfully leveraged this opportunity.
