Summary of the contracting process

Cleveland Fire Authority procured a managed vehicle spare-parts solution for its emergency and rescue vehicle fleet. The requirement covers the management and supply of vehicle parts, tyres, lubricants and workshop consumables, with the option of a one-stop service from a single provider. The service can include managed stores, with stock held on an imprest or consignment basis, so that workshop requirements can be controlled and replenished. The buyer is Cleveland Fire Authority, based in Hartlepool, and delivery activity is in the North East of England. This is a goods procurement focused on keeping fire and rescue vehicles supplied with the parts and consumables needed for maintenance and operational readiness. The relevant categories include emergency vehicles and rescue vehicles.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to Fleet Factors. The award date was 7 April 2026 and the active contract value is £800,000. The contract was signed on 7 April 2026. It used a limited procedure: a direct award from the NEPO framework’s Managed Solutions lot, without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated rationale was that the framework lot allows requirements for vehicle parts, tyres, lubricants and workshop consumables to be directed to a single managed provider. The award was evaluated on price. The arrangement included a two-year extension option. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and the contract is associated with the management of Cleveland Fire Authority’s vehicle spare-parts requirement.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from a fire and rescue authority for outsourced management of vehicle parts and workshop consumables, rather than simple ad hoc supply. Suppliers competing for similar work would need dependable access to emergency and rescue vehicle parts, tyres, lubricants and workshop consumables, together with the operational systems to manage stock for a public-sector fleet. Credible capability would include one-stop-shop provision, accurate stock control, replenishment and the ability to hold stock on an imprest or consignment basis. Suppliers should also be able to support workshop users reliably across the North East of England and demonstrate competitive pricing, since price was the stated award basis. The requirement is suited to established fleet-parts distributors or managed-stores providers with sufficient scale and supply-chain resilience.
