UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured vehicle repair services for Northamptonshire Police’s emergency vehicles. The requirement covers car repairs and vehicle body repairs, including associated goods needed to complete the work. It is a service-led requirement with a goods element, intended to keep the force’s emergency vehicle fleet operational. Delivery is associated with the Northamptonshire area, with the public authority based in Wellingborough and the selected repair business based in Northampton. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing services in Northamptonshire. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are vehicle repair and bodywork businesses able to support emergency-service vehicles and work across the local Northamptonshire operating area.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Castle Coachworks (Northampton) Limited. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. Its value is up to £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT; the authority has no commitment to spend the full amount. The contract is active. The published procurement title describes the provision of vehicle repairs for emergency vehicles. Evaluation was not competitive because the authority used a direct award route, so no scored tender criteria or comparative bid process is reported.

The award demonstrates a local requirement for a vehicle repair business able to maintain emergency vehicles for Northamptonshire Police. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in general car repair and vehicle body repair, with the capacity to handle emergency-service vehicles and sustain work for a public-sector fleet. Local operating reach in Northamptonshire is commercially relevant, as is the ability to provide the goods associated with repair work as part of an integrated service. The selected supplier is an SME based in Northampton, indicating that a specialist small or medium-sized repair business can serve this requirement. Businesses should therefore assess their fleet-repair capacity, bodywork capability, local coverage and ability to support operational vehicles reliably.
