For the purchase of cars and commercial vehicles

Using a BlueLight Commercial framework is a ready-made solution, saving both time and money as we have already carried out due diligence and supplier negotiation. This means customers get best value through our centralised buying power and can be reassured all suppliers, and products, will comply with required legislative and technical standards. Rigorous operational testing has been carried out to enable customers to buy with confidence.

We maintain the strategic relationships with suppliers, whilst the customer maintains control of operational contract management. We will oversee the implementation and onboarding of the contract, act as a single point of contact and provide an escalation route for any performance issues.

 

We work with members to transform commercial procurement, resulting in a bottom line improvement to cost and time savings, and delivering a more sustainable future. Click here for information.  

Scope of contract

This framework was set up by BlueLight Commercial supported by NPCC Commercial Group and NAPFM members on behalf of all police forces and fire services to establish a number of call-off contracts across lots for the purchase of cars and commercial vehicles.

It is split into 20 lots outlined in the table below and provides a comprehensive ability for customers to purchase vehicles at a significant discount.
