## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority purchased a vehicle under its framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The requirement covers the supply of vehicles for public order and safety operations, with delivery in Scotland. It is a goods procurement managed by the Scottish Police Authority, a central purchasing body based in Glasgow. The recorded requirement is titled Vehicle Purchase and formed one completed lot. The awarded supplier, Mercedes Benz Western Commercial, is based in Bellshill and supplies the purchased vehicles. This opportunity is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, commercial vehicle dealers, fleet suppliers and businesses able to provide standard or specialist vehicles for policing and other public-sector operational use.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure as a purchase under the framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The contract was awarded to Mercedes Benz Western Commercial for the vehicle purchase. The contract is active and was signed on 21 August 2026. Its value is £41,175. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and the bidder was not an SME. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The process comprised one completed lot. The available outcome shows a single supplier award and a signed contract; no separate contract duration is recorded. The Scottish Police Authority is the buyer and central purchasing body for the arrangement.

For suppliers assessing future public-sector vehicle requirements, this procurement demonstrates demand from the Scottish Police Authority for standard and specialist vehicles bought through an established framework route. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable commercial or operational vehicles, understand the differing requirements of standard and specialist models, and operate effectively within a public-sector framework. The successful supplier was a large commercial vehicle business, while the recorded competition attracted one electronic bid and no SME bids. Businesses considering this market should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable vehicle supply, fleet or dealer capacity, experience of public-sector purchasing arrangements, and the operational support needed for policing vehicles. Specialist conversion or configuration capability may also be relevant where vehicles must meet policing duties.
