Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Police is procuring conversion services to turn a base vehicle into a mobile police station, including the emergency-vehicle equipment needed for the converted vehicle. This is a combined goods-and-services requirement, with the conversion work as its main focus. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire is the buyer; the Chief Constable for Devon and Cornwall Police managed the procurement through SWPPS Procurement Administration. The awarded work is associated with the United Kingdom, but no specific delivery town or site is identified. The requirement was handled as one lot. Suppliers working in specialist vehicle conversion, emergency vehicle fit-out or closely related engineering and equipment supply are the most directly relevant businesses.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ENDGRAIN CNC LIMITED. The award date was 14 October 2026, and the awarded value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 14 November 2026 to 14 May 2028. It was a competitive, selective procurement awarded under a framework and below the applicable threshold. The evaluation criteria are not stated in the available process information. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the mobile police station conversion requirement. The published description gave an estimated value of £50,000; the award value excluding VAT is also £50,000. A future contract signature was scheduled for 1 November 2026.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates a police buyer’s demand for a specialist vehicle conversion to create a mobile police station, alongside the equipment required for emergency vehicle use. A credible competitor would need to show practical capability to convert a base vehicle for operational police use and integrate the relevant equipment, with sufficient capacity to deliver the combined conversion and supply requirement. Experience delivering specialist or emergency-service vehicle conversions would be directly relevant to competing for this buyer’s comparable requirement. The work was procured competitively through a framework, so suppliers seeking similar police conversion work should be positioned to compete through an appropriate framework route. The award went to an SME, showing that a smaller specialist supplier was selected for this single-lot requirement.
