Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority awarded the contract for a Breakdown Roadside Assistance Service, covering framework agreements for vehicle breakdown and recovery. This procurement involves essential services for the Scottish Police Authority, Scottish Ambulance Service, and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Awarded on 16th March 2026, the value of the contract is set at £1.8 million. The procurement process adopted an open procedure, ensuring broad competition. The tender, initiated earlier in December 2025, was planned with key dates, such as submissions closing on 15th January 2026 and bid openings scheduled for 19th January 2026. Located in the UK region, specifically Glasgow, the contract is significant for the public order and safety sector.

This tender offers substantial business opportunities for service providers skilled in vehicle recovery and roadside assistance. The open procurement method encourages participation from various businesses, particularly those capable of meeting quality and pricing criteria defined as 40% quality and 60% price. Large organisations like The AA have already been awarded the contract, but framework agreements allow businesses with similar capabilities to engage. Companies specializing in electronic submissions and contract management may find this tender aligns with their growth strategies, especially with the provision for electronic payment and ordering. With a two-year contract period and an option for renewal, interested businesses have potential for both short-term and prolonged engagement.
