The Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire is procuring a vehicle livery and associated service for police transport fleets. The requirement covers the design, supply, application and removal of standard Battenberg markings and one-off special livery, including force crests and bespoke designs. Vehicles may include cars, light and medium vans, larger vehicles, motorcycles, boats, horse boxes, trailers and other ancillary items. The service is intended to support Avon and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Police Forces, as well as other regional forces that may wish to use the arrangement. Work will be delivered across the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as goods, relating to vehicle parts and accessories.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 10 September 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. The contract is expected to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, with a 12-month optional extension available and a maximum end date of 30 December 2031.
