Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority purchased a vehicle through its framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The stated requirement is simply vehicle purchase, classified as motor vehicles (CPV 34100000); the procurement does not identify particular models, quantities or specialist specifications. The Scottish Police Authority is the buyer, based in Glasgow. Delivery is identified at Scotland-wide level, with no specific delivery location named. This is a vehicle supply requirement rather than a service or works contract, so it is most relevant to motor vehicle dealers and suppliers able to provide vehicles under the framework. The purchase was made against the framework for standard and specialist vehicles, indicating the buyer uses this route for vehicle procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was conducted as an open procedure under a framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The single lot was awarded to Parks Motor Group, and the contract was signed on 16 September 2026. Its value is £17,224.73. The award information records one bid for the lot, submitted electronically. No contract duration or award date is provided. The purchase is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The requirement was evaluated through the open procedure, but no specific quality, price or other award criteria are recorded. The procurement comprised one lot covering vehicle purchase; there were no options attached to it.

For vehicle dealers and fleet suppliers, this award is evidence that the Scottish Police Authority buys vehicles through a framework covering both standard and specialist vehicles. A supplier competing for the same requirement in future would need to offer vehicles that fit public-sector operational needs and be able to supply through the relevant framework route. The awarded contract was a relatively small, single-lot purchase, so suppliers should be equipped to handle a focused vehicle order rather than rely on a large multi-lot fleet package. The single recorded bid suggests this procurement attracted limited competition, though the available bid count alone does not explain why. Credibility will depend on having suitable vehicles, reliable supply and the ability to meet the authority’s procurement and delivery requirements.
