## Summary

The Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service has completed the procurement process for a Citroen Ami, acquiring the vehicle for Academy use through a selective procurement method. This contract was issued as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Framework Agreement for Vehicle Purchase (RM6244), with the award stage finalized. The delivery location is the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £7,694.99, commenced on 4th August 2026 and will run until 3rd August 2027, catering specifically to the emergency services vehicles category.

This procurement presents growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), though the nature of the framework agreement suggests it is better suited to those already positioned as suppliers within the framework. Businesses that specialize in vehicle manufacturing or supply, particularly in niche sectors like emergency service transport, could find similar tenders an avenue for expansion and increased sector presence. Engaging in such tenders may foster long-term relationships with public sector entities, potentially leading to future collaborations.
