Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority purchased a vehicle under its framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The requirement is recorded simply as a vehicle purchase, with no further vehicle type or specification described. This is a goods contract, classified as motor vehicles (CPV 34100000). The buyer is the Scottish Police Authority, based in Glasgow, and the vehicle was for delivery in Scotland. The purchase relates to one lot and was made through the framework; the available description does not identify the vehicle’s operational purpose or intended user.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Volkswagen Group UK Limited through an open procedure against the framework for standard and specialist vehicles. One bid was recorded for the lot, submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and is valued at £20,218.33. No award date or contract period is recorded in the process information. The purchase was handled as one lot, described as vehicle purchase, with no options. The available award information does not state evaluation criteria or explain how the bid was assessed.

This purchase demonstrates demand from the Scottish Police Authority for vehicles supplied through its framework for standard and specialist vehicles. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply vehicles that meet the buyer’s specification and be able to fulfil an individual vehicle purchase through the relevant framework route. The award went to a large vehicle supplier, Volkswagen Group UK Limited, following a process with one recorded bid; this provides evidence of the supplier selected, but does not establish specific technical, service, accreditation or capacity requirements. Businesses with a suitable vehicle range and the ability to transact through the framework are the closest fit for this buyer’s evidenced requirement.
