## Summary

The Royal Berkshire Fire Authority has completed the procurement process for the replacement of its light fleet vans, focusing on the acquisition of a 4x4 van suitable for water rescue operations. The procurement fits within the category of goods, specifically light vans, and the geographic location for these operations is Reading, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was a limited competition below the threshold, indicating that minimal tenders were invited to participate. This contract was signed on 20th November 2025 and had an active period until the end of December 2025. The vans were required to be delivered to the Royal Berkshire Fire Rescue Service headquarters within two months of order confirmation.

Such a tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in used vehicles with low mileage, particularly those capable of delivering minimal modifications locally. The contract was awarded to Anchor Vans Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Reading, highlighting the potential for smaller businesses in the automotive supply sector to compete effectively in public procurement processes. Companies that offer niche vehicle supply options or have robust capabilities in prompt delivery and modifications may find their expertise particularly suited to similar public sector needs in the future.

## Notice

A 4x4 van is needed for water rescue operations. The requirements were for it to be a used van and to have low mileage. The vans will be delivered to Royal Berkshire Fire Rescue Service HQ (RBFRS HQ). Within two months of order confirmation, at least one van will be purchased and deployed for operational use. Minimal modification work is required and will be completed locally.
