## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority bought vehicles through its central purchasing role for policing and public safety. The requirement covered standard and specialist vehicles, described in plain terms as the purchase of vehicles for operational use. It was treated as a goods purchase and delivered in Scotland. The procurement formed part of a framework arrangement for standard and specialist vehicles, so the requirement was a specific purchase made through an established purchasing route rather than a standalone vehicle supply exercise. The single lot covered the vehicle purchase as a whole. Businesses relevant to this requirement include vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers, fleet suppliers and organisations able to provide specialist vehicles for policing or other public-sector operational use.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The single lot was awarded to Ford Motor Company Limited, and the resulting contract is active. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 for £74,521.44. One bid was received, submitted electronically. The purchase was made against the framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The available outcome records identify Ford as the selected supplier and confirm that the tender and lot are complete. The published information does not set out separate evaluation weightings, a contract end date or a stated award-decision date. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a supplier that did not win this purchase, the award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for both standard and specialist vehicles within Scottish policing. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need access to suitable vehicle models, the ability to supply operational or specially configured vehicles, and dependable fleet delivery and after-sales support. Experience of public-sector purchasing and the ability to work through a framework or other established purchasing arrangement would also be relevant. The result shows that the buyer accepted an electronic bid from a large vehicle manufacturer, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate organisational capacity, manufacturer or dealer backing, reliable fulfilment and a clear understanding of vehicles used in public safety operations.
