## Summary

The procurement process for BLC0157 Vehicle Conversions was initiated by BlueLight Commercial Limited, a public authority based in London, United Kingdom. The tender, employing an open procurement method, was focused on providing vehicle conversion services for blue light organisations, including police and emergency services. This open framework contract involved a multi-supplier arrangement without lots and was awarded on 6th August 2025. The award, valued at £200,000,000, spans from August 2025 to August 2033, offering services across the UK. Significant industry categories include vehicle conversion and equipment for emergency vehicles, with key procurement stages completed, including the award notice on 24th July 2025.

This framework presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in emergency vehicle equipment and conversion services. The tender attracted numerous suppliers, signifying a competitive landscape where businesses can potentially collaborate and innovate to meet stringent technical and quality standards, which comprise a significant portion of the award criteria. Large and small enterprises in the regions across the UK could benefit from participating in this extensive framework, enhancing their portfolios and expanding market reach within the public sector. Businesses engaging in this procurement process will align with various public sector bodies, broadening their service offerings while meeting the critical needs of the blue light sectors.

## Notice

Following the expiry of the existing blue light National Framework for Vehicle Conversion Services blue light organisations required a new route to market for their vehicle conversion needs. BlueLight Commercial have engaged with Police Forces and the conversions market to develop a flexible approach to the blue light vehicle conversions requirement. BlueLight Commercial have completed a tender process to establish a national Open Framework for the provision of vehicle conversions for blue light organisations. This is a multi-supplier Open Framework, without lots.

### Planning Information

Preliminary market engagement has been undertaken for this requirement prior to the onset of the new procurement regulations. BlueLight Commercial can confirm that a market engagement event was held to seek input and feedback from the wider conversions market on 22 March 2024 regarding existing routes to market for conversions and how these could be improved. Further engagement with attendees to this event was conducted in December 2024 whereby an initial outline of the proposed new arrangement was circulated for their comment and feedback.
BlueLight Commercial are planning on hosting a brief online/virtual presentation for any interested bidders with regards to this project on 02 April 2025 at 2pm.
