Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority commissioned external vehicle maintenance services for its operational vehicle fleet. The requirement covers the maintenance and repair of vehicles, under the Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI framework. It was arranged as a single service lot and delivered for the Authority’s requirements in Scotland. The buyer is a central public purchasing body based in Glasgow. The procurement sits within public-sector safety and policing activity, so relevant suppliers are vehicle maintenance providers able to support a public authority’s fleet rather than ordinary consumer garages. The associated classification is CPV 50110000, covering repair and maintenance services for motor vehicles and associated equipment. The selected provider is a commercial business supplying services directly to the Scottish Police Authority.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure as a framework call-off, with one lot and one bid received; the bid was submitted electronically. Allstar Business Solutions Ltd was selected for the external vehicle maintenance services. The resulting contract is active, was signed on 19 August 2026, and has a value of £9,100,000. The published outcome records the award against the Fuel Cards and Associated Services VI framework. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The contract award concerns the single lot for external vehicle maintenance services. The available outcome data records the supplier and contract value; the award record does not provide a separate award date or contract end date.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for outsourced vehicle maintenance linked to fuel-card services within Scottish policing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide dependable external maintenance and repair for an operational fleet, with the capacity to support a large public buyer across Scotland. Relevant strengths would include established vehicle servicing infrastructure, responsive fault and repair handling, reliable administration and the ability to manage service delivery at scale. Suppliers should also understand framework call-offs and the governance expected in public-sector contracts. The procurement attracted a single bid from a non-SME supplier, indicating that the requirement may favour businesses with significant operational capacity, established systems and the financial resilience to support a major fleet-services contract.
