Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority purchased vehicles under the framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The requirement is classified as vehicle procurement (CPV 34100000) and covers one lot described as vehicle purchase. The goods are for delivery in Scotland. The Authority is both the buyer and a central purchasing body, indicating that the vehicles support public policing and safety operations. The requirement is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, authorised vehicle distributors and suppliers able to provide both standard fleet vehicles and specialist vehicles for police use. Ford Motor Company Limited was the selected supplier, showing that the procurement was suitable for a large vehicle manufacturer operating through a public-sector framework. The scope is focused on supplying vehicles rather than vehicle-related services, construction or general equipment.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure and a framework call-off for standard and specialist vehicles. Ford Motor Company Limited was awarded the single vehicle-purchase lot. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and the recorded bidder was not an SME. The contract is active and was signed on 6 August 2026. Its value is £61,936.80. The available outcome information identifies one supplier and one awarded lot; the published process therefore records a single vehicle purchase rather than multiple separately valued awards. The contract route is relevant to suppliers already able to participate in, or supply through, public-sector vehicle frameworks. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award provides a clear indication of the Scottish Police Authority’s demand for standard and specialist vehicles through a framework route. Credible competitors would need to be vehicle manufacturers or established distributors with dependable access to suitable models, the operational capability to supply police vehicles, and experience of meeting public-sector purchasing requirements. They would also need to support electronic tendering and understand framework call-off procedures. The successful supplier was a large organisation, so competitors should be able to demonstrate sufficient commercial capacity, reliable fulfilment and the ability to handle vehicle specifications for public order and safety use. Businesses focused only on unrelated goods, vehicle servicing or general transport services would not match this requirement.
