## Summary

Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service bought ten T32 vans for delivery in the South West of England. This is a vehicle supply contract, classified as vans (CPV 34136000). The requirement was for vehicles rather than works or services, with the vans intended for the fire and rescue service. The procurement was made through the Crown Commercial Service’s vehicle-purchases framework.

The procurement is complete and Volkswagen Group UK Ltd was selected. The award was made on 7 October 2026 for £401,373.60. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2027. The authority used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The source describes the purchase and identifies the successful supplier but does not state a separate evaluation basis.

This award shows that Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service buys vans through a vehicle-purchases framework, with a ten-vehicle requirement in this case. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement next comes to market would need to be credible providers of suitable vans and able to supply through the relevant framework route. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. That makes this requirement relevant to smaller vehicle suppliers as well as larger distributors, provided they can meet the buyer’s vehicle requirements and framework conditions.
