## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority bought a vehicle through a purchase against a framework for standard and specialist vehicles. The specific requirement is described only as a vehicle purchase, so the vehicle type, specification and intended operational use are not established. The procurement is categorised as goods, with vehicle supply as the relevant business area (CPV 34100000). The buyer is the Scottish Police Authority, based in Glasgow. The delivery location is identified only as Scotland, without a more precise place. This is a single-lot purchase, rather than a stated programme covering multiple vehicle types or locations. The contract concerns supplying a vehicle to the Authority; no associated maintenance, servicing or other vehicle support is described.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run as an open procedure against the framework for standard and specialist vehicles. Arnold Clark Springburn KIA was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 16 September 2026. The contract value is £22,338.83. The award record does not provide a separate award date or a contract start or end date, so the duration cannot be established. One bid was recorded for the lot, and it was submitted electronically. The procurement data gives no further detail about the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. There is no recorded breakdown into sub-lots or separate awards; the value stated is for this contract, not a total across multiple suppliers or lots.

This award is evidence that the Scottish Police Authority buys vehicles through its framework for standard and specialist vehicles, with a single-vehicle purchase recorded here. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns would need to supply vehicles matching the Authority’s operational specification and be able to transact through the relevant framework route. The award went to a Kia dealership, but the available description does not establish a make, model, specialist conversion, technical feature or service package, so those should not be assumed to be requirements. The recorded competition attracted one electronic bid, indicating that a supplier able to respond through the framework’s electronic process was involved. Vehicle dealers and suppliers with public-sector framework experience may therefore find this buyer’s vehicle purchasing relevant; the contract itself does not establish additional accreditation, capacity or experience thresholds.
