Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority bought vehicles for policing use, covering both standard and specialist vehicles under its framework purchasing arrangements. The requirement was for vehicle supply rather than vehicle-related services or construction work. The buyer is based in Glasgow and the vehicles were intended for delivery in Scotland. The purchase was treated as a goods procurement and covered one lot. The classification corresponds to complete motor vehicles, so relevant businesses include vehicle manufacturers, authorised vehicle distributors, fleet suppliers and providers able to supply specialist vehicles for public safety operations. The purchasing organisation operates as a central purchasing body, which may indicate that its vehicle buying arrangements support wider public-sector operational needs as well as the Authority itself.

This procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It used an open procedure and was awarded through the framework for standard and specialist vehicles. There was one lot and one electronic bid was recorded. Ford Motor Company Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract value is £27,929.40. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The process was evaluated through the open framework route; the available outcome records do not set out separate price, quality or technical weightings. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The recorded outcome shows a single supplier award for the vehicle purchase, rather than separate awards or values across multiple lots.

This award is useful market evidence for businesses supplying vehicles to Scottish public-sector policing organisations. A credible future competitor would need access to complete motor vehicles and the ability to provide both standard fleet vehicles and specialist variants suited to public safety operations. Relevant strengths would include manufacturer or authorised-distributor status, dependable fleet fulfilment, vehicle specification and configuration expertise, and the capacity to support framework-based purchasing. The result also shows that this type of requirement can be handled through an electronic open framework route and that the buyer accepted a direct vehicle supply proposition from a large manufacturer. Businesses targeting comparable work should therefore be able to demonstrate vehicle range, operational suitability and reliable public-sector supply arrangements.
