## Summary

Lancashire Combined Fire Authority bought six Toyota bZ4X Touring cars for its Duty Flexi Officers. This is a vehicle supply requirement, rather than a vehicle hire or fleet-maintenance contract. The cars support the fire authority’s operational staffing arrangements. The buyer is based in Preston, and the vehicles are for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one requirement for six cars; no separate vehicle types or additional goods and services are described. Toyota (GB) plc supplied the vehicles. The requirement is relevant to vehicle manufacturers and dealerships able to supply electric passenger cars of this type to public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Toyota (GB) plc. The authority used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The stated award basis is the purchase of six Toyota bZ4X Touring cars; no separate scored evaluation criteria are recorded. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £161,397.10 excluding VAT, or £193,676.52 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering all six cars. The contract is active, and the award is active.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide suitable electric passenger vehicles in a quantity of six and meet the authority’s operational needs for Duty Flexi Officers. Vehicle manufacturers and authorised dealers with the ability to supply Toyota bZ4X Touring cars, or vehicles that meet the same requirement, are the closest commercial fit. The completed purchase shows demand from Lancashire Combined Fire Authority for a defined batch of operational cars, with a direct, below-threshold route used for this procurement. Suppliers should be positioned to support a straightforward vehicle supply contract for the fire authority, rather than assuming that vehicle servicing, charging infrastructure or fleet-management services are part of the requirement.
