Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire has completed a procurement process titled "The Provision Of Roadside Assistance," focusing on providing breakdown and recovery services for light touch vehicles within the UKF24 and UKF25 regions. The contract, awarded through a direct procurement method below the threshold, was signed on 22nd July 2026. This one-year service contract, valued at £15,000 with potential for a £3,000 gross increment, begins from 27th July 2026 and includes an option for a 12-month extension, potentially reaching until July 2028. The award stage is currently active, with the supplier CMG Rescue Service (Cowan Recovery Ltd) engaged for providing these essential services.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in automotive recovery within the services category. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in breakdown and recovery services would find themselves well-positioned to compete, especially those operating with a focus on delivering efficient and reliable roadside assistance solutions. The contract’s localised service delivery requirement within the Northamptonshire and adjacent areas can be beneficial for businesses in those regions, seeking to leverage their geographical advantage and establish a robust service record under a governmental contract.
