Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of vehicles in the public order and safety category. Based in Glasgow, the authority finalised the contract under an open procurement method, utilising the main procurement category of goods. The contract, valued at £179,832.16, was signed on 28th January 2026, and was awarded to Arnold Clark, a large-scale supplier also located in Glasgow. This procurement process falls under the industry classification of motor vehicles (CPV 34100000), and the entire contracting activity is covered by the General Procurement Agreement (GPA). The process moved through to the award stage, and the contract is currently active.

This vehicle purchase tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in automotive supply, particularly those specialising in standard and specialist vehicles. The open procedure used in this procurement process facilitates fair competition, allowing businesses, regardless of size, to engage in bidding activities. Although only one bid was received, the use of electronic bidding suggests a streamlined process for interested suppliers. Companies within the automotive industry, especially large or specialist firms offering competitive pricing and reliable service, would find similar opportunities conducive to growth, enhancing their visibility and client base in the government sector.
