## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured vehicle conversion services for 20 marked Peugeot 308 vehicles. The work covers adapting and equipping the vehicles for their operational use, including associated vehicle equipment and related services. It is a services requirement rather than a purchase of standard vehicles or general vehicle maintenance. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing and crime matters in Sussex. The requirement was arranged as a single package, covering the complete vehicle conversion programme rather than separate vehicle, equipment or service lots. It is relevant to businesses specialising in police, emergency-service or other specialist vehicle conversions.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage. The contract was awarded on 14 September 2026 to OPSES LIMITED under a framework agreement, using a selective procedure and a non-competitive framework call-off. The awarded value is £314,536.60 excluding VAT, or £377,444.28 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. A standstill period ends on 23 September 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 24 September 2026. The award covers the single lot and is above the relevant threshold. Evaluation was conducted through the framework route; no separate scoring criteria or weighting are published in this process.

This award demonstrates demand from a police organisation for the conversion of a sizeable batch of marked Peugeot 308 vehicles within a defined one-year delivery period. A credible future competitor would need practical experience converting operational vehicles at batch scale, integrating specialist equipment and completing consistent work across a fleet. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist vehicle-conversion companies, emergency-service vehicle fitters, automotive engineering firms and suppliers able to manage installation, testing and handover as a coordinated service. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Experience with framework call-offs and selective public-sector procurement would also be valuable.
