## Summary

Kent Fire & Rescue Service bought nine mobile technician vans and one spare van for its operational fleet. The procurement is for vehicles rather than a service or works contract, with the vehicles classified as emergency vehicles (CPV 34114100). Delivery is in the South East of England. The requirement is specifically for a fleet of technician vans, including a spare vehicle, so it is most relevant to vehicle manufacturers and commercial vehicle suppliers able to provide suitable vans for a fire and rescue service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MAN Truck and Bus Ltd. The award was made on 6 August 2026 for £934,404, and the contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 5 August 2027. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026. The stated requirement covered the nine technician vans and one spare as a single purchase. The published procurement information does not set out specific evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements, so the award outcome identifies the selected supplier and value but does not establish which technical or commercial factors determined the decision.

For suppliers considering similar requirements from Kent Fire & Rescue Service, this award demonstrates demand for a multi-vehicle purchase of mobile technician vans, with a spare vehicle included. A credible competitor would need to supply a fleet of vans suitable for technician use and meet the operational needs of a fire and rescue service; vehicle supply capacity and the ability to provide a spare alongside the main fleet are directly relevant. The purchase was made through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to compete through an applicable framework route. Small and medium-sized businesses were identified as suitable for this procurement, indicating that the requirement was not restricted to large suppliers. The award does not identify specific vehicle specifications or required accreditations.
