## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought vehicle repair services for Northamptonshire Police’s emergency vehicles. The requirement covers car repairs and vehicle body repairs, combining service work with associated repair goods. Delivery is across Northamptonshire, serving the operational needs of the police fleet. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Wellingborough. This is a focused automotive maintenance and accident-damage repair requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract, so it is relevant to businesses with workshop capacity, vehicle repair capability and the ability to support emergency-service vehicles in Northamptonshire.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a direct, below-threshold call-off without competition. Castle Coachworks (Northampton) Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. Its maximum value is £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT; the buyer stated it is not committed to spend the full amount. There was one lot, covering the vehicle repair requirement. The contract is active, and the award is active. The published outcome identifies car repair and vehicle body-repair services as the contracted scope.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible competitors would need to provide reliable car and body repairs for emergency vehicles, with workshop capability suited to maintaining operational police vehicles. The awarded supplier is an SME based in Northampton, indicating that a specialist local or regional repair business can meet the requirement without being a large national contractor. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating practical experience of vehicle repair, bodywork capacity, responsive service arrangements and the ability to support vehicles operating across Northamptonshire. Businesses already serving emergency-service or other operational fleets may be well placed to evidence the reliability, turnaround and repair quality expected for this type of work.
