The project is within the services industry category, specifically involving repair, maintenance, and associated services of vehicles and related equipment (CPV 50100000). Located primarily in North Yorkshire (Region UKE2), this plan is currently in the planning stage, with a significant market engagement exercise set to conclude by 27 June 2025. The engagement aims to inform the development of a service specification through supplier interactions and feedback, possibly moulding a competitive procurement process. Future communications about the procurement are expected by 2 October 2025. This initiative offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle repair and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to get involved, as the procurement process aligns with their operational strengths and community-oriented goals. Engaging with this project could allow businesses to expand their reach by providing ongoing support to public services across North Yorkshire, fostering growth in the regional vehicle services sector through collaboration and innovation. ## Notice North Yorkshire Police (NYP) and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services (NYFRS) are undertaking a soft market testing exercise. The purpose of this is to engage with the market and gain a better understanding of the external garage works available, to give continued support to both services throughout North Yorkshire. This exercise will assist in the development of a service specification and inform a future competitive procurement process. We would like to invite suppliers to respond to key questions via our market engagement questionnaire (https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/publictender-details?tid=aeb996cf-c303-47ba-bcdc-2bca00444574 or by searching "garage" on the search for tenders area of https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home) or email Procurement@northyorkshire.police.uk. ### Planning Information North Yorkshire Police (NYP) and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services (NYFRS) are undertaking a soft market testing exercise.
