Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured Toyota motor vehicles for public-sector policing and safety activity. The requirement was for the purchase of Toyota vehicles, classified as motor vehicles, with delivery in South East England. The procurement was for goods rather than services or works. The named buyer is The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex, based in Lewes. The selected supplier, Toyota GB PLC, is a large vehicle manufacturer and distributor based in Surrey. The requirement was organised as a single lot covering the vehicle purchase. This opportunity is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, authorised distributors and fleet suppliers able to provide Toyota vehicles for a public authority operating in Sussex and the wider South East England area.

The procurement has been completed and an active award was made to Toyota GB PLC. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 for £770,000. The process used a limited procedure: a call-off under a framework agreement without further competition and without prior publication of a call for competition. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded for the lot. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. No contract period or award date is recorded in the procurement outcome. The contracting authority selected Toyota GB PLC for the purchase of the Toyota vehicles, with the contract carrying the same identifier as the award.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex for Toyota vehicles supplied through a framework call-off. A competitor seeking similar public-sector work would need the ability to supply Toyota vehicles at fleet scale, meet a public authority’s purchasing and delivery requirements, and compete primarily on price. Access to an appropriate framework agreement is commercially important because this purchase was made as a call-off without further competition. Relevant suppliers are therefore likely to include vehicle manufacturers, authorised Toyota distribution businesses and fleet specialists with the capacity to support policing or public-service vehicle requirements in South East England. The recorded single bid and active award indicate a focused route in which framework position and vehicle supply capability were central.
