Summary of the contracting process

Avon and Somerset Constabulary procured the supply and installation of garage equipment for a new vehicle workshop in Yeovil, Somerset. The requirement is for workshop equipment supporting vehicle maintenance and fleet workshop operations, classified under CPV 43800000. The constabulary is the buying organisation, while Devon and Cornwall Police acted as the authorised procuring entity for the Police and Crime Commissioner for Avon and Somerset. The work is therefore relevant to suppliers of commercial garage and workshop equipment, particularly businesses able to provide equipment as a complete supply-and-installation service for a public-sector vehicle maintenance facility in Somerset.

This below-threshold limited competition has been completed and awarded. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 with Pomphrey and Sons Ltd, an SME, for £140,000 gross. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. It covers one completed lot and the award is active. The procurement was for goods, evaluated through a limited competition rather than an open procedure. The recorded outcome is a supply-and-installation contract for garage workshop equipment, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the requirement at Yeovil. The award and contract relate to the single workshop-equipment requirement, rather than separate awards to multiple suppliers.

For a supplier assessing future police fleet-workshop requirements, this procurement demonstrates demand for a complete garage-equipment supply and installation service at a public vehicle workshop. A credible competitor would need to source or provide professional workshop equipment, manage installation, and support delivery into an operational vehicle-maintenance setting. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a major national contractor. Relevant businesses are garage-equipment distributors, workshop fit-out specialists and installation contractors with experience coordinating equipment delivery and on-site installation. The buyer’s requirement also shows the value of understanding police fleet operations and presenting a coherent equipment-and-installation solution for a defined workshop project.
