## Summary

The Chief Constable for Devon and Cornwall Police is procuring vehicle livery, high-conspicuity markings and related services for regional police transport fleets. The requirement covers the design, supply, application and removal of standard Battenburg markings and one-off special livery, including force crests and bespoke designs. Vehicles include cars, light and medium vans, larger vehicles, motorcycles, boats, horseboxes, trailers and other ancillary items. The service is intended for Avon and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Police Forces, with other regional forces able to use the arrangement if they express an interest. Delivery is across England, making this relevant to suppliers able to support police fleets across multiple regions.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 10 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The estimated contract value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. The contract is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, with an additional 12-month extension available, taking the maximum end date to 30 December 2031. The award decision was due by 14 October 2026 at 23:59. There is one lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Offers are evaluated on price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits vehicle-livery and fleet-marking specialists able to deliver a complete service from design through supply, application and removal. Suppliers need the capability to work across varied police and regional-force fleets, including cars, vans, large vehicles, motorcycles, boats, horseboxes, trailers and ancillary equipment. Relevant experience includes producing both standard Battenburg markings and bespoke one-off designs, incorporating force crests and other customer-specific graphics. The service must meet the Home Office Scientific Development Branch and police vehicle-marking requirements, including HOSDB 14/04, HOSDB 47/06, HOSDB 43/04, HOSDB 01/96, PSDB 43/04 and Chapter 8 Vehicle Markings as a minimum. Businesses should also be able to demonstrate operational capacity across multiple English police forces and address quality and social-value requirements.
