Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority purchased vehicles under a framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The requirement is recorded as “Vehicle Purchase” and covers one procurement lot. It falls within the goods category for motor vehicles, with CPV code 34100000. The buyer is a public-sector body responsible for policing in Scotland, based in Glasgow. Delivery is associated with Scotland. The awarded supplier is Toyota (GB) PLC, a large vehicle manufacturer and distributor based in Epsom. This requirement is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers, fleet suppliers and businesses able to provide both standard and specialist vehicles for public-sector operational use. It may also interest firms that support vehicle supply, preparation or specialist configuration under vehicle purchasing frameworks.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through an open procedure as a framework call-off for one lot. Toyota (GB) PLC was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 21 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £110,212.65. The contract is active. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME. The purchase was evaluated through the open-procedure process, with the requirement described as the purchase of standard and specialist vehicles. The award is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome records the buyer’s vehicle purchase rather than a wider services or works requirement.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to supply road vehicles suitable for standard and specialist operational roles, and to manage delivery for a Scottish public-sector fleet buyer. The award shows demand for a vehicle supplier able to fulfil a defined framework call-off rather than provide a standalone consultancy or construction service. Toyota’s selection and the single electronic bid indicate that established vehicle manufacturers, authorised distributors and fleet specialists with direct access to suitable models may be well placed. Businesses would also need the capacity to support public-sector purchasing processes, configure or source specialist vehicles where required, and submit compliant electronic tenders through an open procedure. The buyer’s public-safety role makes dependable fleet supply and operational suitability commercially important.
