## Summary

Lancashire Constabulary bought motor vehicles under the CCS/BLC framework, classified as CPV 34100000. This is a goods requirement for vehicle supply and delivery in the North West of England. The purchasing organisation is Lancashire Constabulary, based in Preston. The stated purpose was to obtain vehicles for the constabulary through an established public-sector framework rather than through a standalone open market competition. The requirement is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealerships, fleet suppliers and other organisations able to provide motor vehicles through the applicable framework arrangements. It concerns vehicle supply as a commercial purchase, rather than vehicle maintenance, leasing, transport operations or other automotive services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award was made on 31 July 2026 for £45,850.42 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was awarded jointly to Stellantis & You and Ford Motor Company Limited. The procurement record does not set out separate lots or a detailed scoring breakdown; the route to market was the CCS/BLC framework call-off. It records the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, indicating a competition intended for established framework suppliers.

This award provides a clear indication that Lancashire Constabulary purchases motor vehicles through the CCS/BLC framework and uses a framework call-off route rather than an open tender. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need access to the relevant framework, an approved route for supplying vehicles, and the operational capacity to fulfil a public-sector fleet purchase in the North West. Credible competitors are likely to be vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealer groups or established fleet suppliers able to offer compliant vehicles, manage procurement and delivery requirements, and work with a policing customer. The recorded SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that smaller or voluntary-sector organisations may not be well placed to compete directly without an appropriate framework position or supply-chain role.
