Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority purchased standard and specialist vehicles for policing and public-safety operations. The requirement is classified as motor vehicles (CPV 34100000) and relates to one vehicle purchase lot. Delivery is in Scotland. The buyer is a public-sector policing organisation and central purchasing body, so the requirement is likely to support operational fleets rather than general administrative transport. The procurement was made against a framework for the purchase of standard and specialist vehicles. Businesses relevant to this requirement include vehicle manufacturers, authorised vehicle suppliers and fleet providers able to supply vehicles suitable for police or other public-service use. The selected supplier was Volvo Car UK Ltd.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure under a framework agreement. Volvo Car UK Ltd was selected for the vehicle purchase after one electronic bid was received. The contract is active and was signed on 14 July 2026. Its value is £405,489.96. The process covered one lot, which was completed without options for additional purchases. The award information identifies Volvo Car UK Ltd as the supplier for the lot. The published outcome records a single bidder, with no SME bids and no bids from suppliers outside the UK. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates established demand from the Scottish Police Authority for both standard and specialist vehicles through a framework route. A credible future competitor would need to provide a broad vehicle range, including specialist configurations, and demonstrate the ability to meet public-sector fleet requirements reliably. Relevant strengths would include vehicle manufacturing or authorised distribution, fleet supply capacity, configuration and conversion capability, dependable servicing and maintenance support, and experience working through framework-based purchasing arrangements. Suppliers should also be able to manage electronic procurement and provide clear, compliant vehicle specifications for operational use. The award indicates that a large established vehicle supplier can meet this requirement at significant fleet scale.
