## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured vehicle repair services for Northamptonshire Police’s emergency vehicles. The requirement covers car repairs and vehicle body repairs, including associated goods needed to complete the work. Delivery covers Northampton and Wellingborough in Northamptonshire. The buying organisation is the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, a sub-central public authority. This is a specialist automotive maintenance and repair requirement focused on keeping emergency vehicles operational, rather than a general fleet servicing or vehicle supply contract. It is relevant to vehicle repair businesses with suitable facilities, equipment and staff to work on police and other emergency-service vehicles in the local area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award below the threshold without competition, as a call-off contract. Castle Coachworks (Northampton) Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. Its value is up to £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT; the authority has no commitment to spend the full amount. The award and contract are active. The published procurement data identifies one completed lot and provides no competitive evaluation weighting. The contract is for services, with related goods included.

This award demonstrates a defined local requirement for specialist repair of police emergency vehicles, including both mechanical car repairs and vehicle body repairs. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need practical capacity to handle emergency-vehicle repair work, suitable premises and equipment, and the technical staff to deliver bodywork and broader vehicle repairs reliably. Local coverage in Northamptonshire is commercially relevant, as the awarded supplier is based in Northampton and the work covers Northampton and Wellingborough. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused independent repair business rather than only a large national fleet-services provider. Parts and other associated goods form part of the service need.
