## Summary

The Police And Crime Commissioner For Durham is seeking services for the conversion of bespoke and specialist vehicles, classified under motor vehicle conversion services (CPV code 50117100). This procurement process is in the Award stage, following the tender initiation. The contract, signed on 3rd April 2025, involves a direct award from the CCS Framework RM6244, specifically Lot 10, which includes a range of conversion services such as specification design, body build, testing, and maintenance. The services will be delivered within the UKC1 region, with the total contract value estimated at £90,000. The procurement method used was limited, meaning no prior publication of the call for competition was made due to the procurement being outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in motor vehicle conversions, offering them a chance to provide high-value services to a public sector body. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as James Alpe Ltd, the awarded supplier, are particularly well-suited to compete for similar procurements, given their expertise in bespoke vehicle conversions. Businesses capable of delivering innovative conversion solutions and maintaining high-quality standards can leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolio and establish strong relations with public sector clients.
