## Summary

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority bought two Skoda Kodiaq estate cars for delivery in the East of England. The requirement is for motor vehicles, covering the supply of standard or specialist vehicles for emergency services. The buyer is based at Essex County Fire & Rescue Service Headquarters in Kelvedon Park, Witham. The vehicles are associated with the authority’s fire and rescue operations and were sourced through the Government Commercial Agency framework for the purchase of standard and specialist vehicles, specifically its Bluelight Cars and Motorcycles lot. This is a goods contract focused on supplying complete vehicles rather than vehicle maintenance, fleet management or broader transport services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 September 2026 to Volkswagen Group UK Ltd. It used a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency framework for standard and specialist vehicles, Lot 4 for Bluelight Cars and Motorcycles serving emergency services. The award value is £60,419.66 including the stated currency of GBP, for the two vehicles. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 7 December 2026. The tender’s stated submission deadline was 10 September 2026. The award is active, and the contract period is defined for vehicle supply. The process was evaluated through the framework route rather than an open competition for this individual purchase.

This award indicates a requirement for suppliers able to provide Skoda Kodiaq estate cars, or comparable standard or specialist vehicles, for an emergency-services buyer. A credible competitor would need an established vehicle supply operation, access to the relevant manufacturer or dealer network, and the capacity to fulfil a small, defined fleet order. Experience of supplying police, fire or other blue-light organisations would be commercially relevant, particularly where vehicles must meet operational specifications and procurement rules. Suppliers targeting similar work should understand the Government Commercial Agency framework route and its Bluelight Cars and Motorcycles category. The successful supplier’s position as a large UK vehicle company suggests that scale, manufacturer relationships and reliable delivery arrangements are important for this buyer.
