Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority bought standard and specialist vehicles for public order and safety operations. The requirement is classified as vehicle procurement (CPV 34100000) and is described as a purchase of vehicles under a framework agreement. The buying organisation is the Scottish Police Authority, acting as a central purchasing body. Delivery is associated with Scotland. This is a goods contract rather than a service or construction opportunity, and the requirement covered one vehicle-purchase lot. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would include vehicle manufacturers, authorised vehicle suppliers and fleet providers able to supply both standard and specialist vehicles for policing and other public-safety duties.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Toyota (GB) PLC was selected for the vehicle-purchase lot. The contract value is £110,877.65, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026; its recorded status is active. The award was made against a framework for the purchase of standard and specialist vehicles. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and it was not from an SME. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome records a single supplier and a single lot, rather than separate awards to multiple businesses. The available process information identifies the open procedure but does not set out an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award provides a clear indication of the Scottish Police Authority’s demand for standard and specialist vehicles through a framework route, with a requirement substantial enough to involve an established vehicle manufacturer. A credible future competitor would need the ability to supply complete vehicles rather than isolated components, support differing standard and specialist specifications, and work through public-sector framework arrangements. Fleet delivery, vehicle configuration, quality control, logistics, after-sales support and the capacity to serve policing requirements would be commercially relevant strengths. The result also shows that competition may include major manufacturers and that an SME did not submit the recorded bid, so smaller businesses would need a convincing delivery model, specialist capability or partnership arrangement to compete effectively.
