What is being bought

Published requirement description

West Yorkshire Police (WYP) and Humberside Police (HP) are undertaking a collaborative tender (led by WYP) for their ‘Disposal, Recycling and Auctioning of Non-Police Vehicles’ contracts which are due to expire on the 31st May 2027. This concession service requires a Supplier to scrap, recycle and sell (auction) non-police vehicles and associated items for both Forces that have been abandoned, seized, collision damaged, burnt out and involved in crime.

A UK1: Pipeline notice (Notice Identifier: 2025/S 000-021190) (Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-050d1f) was previously published on the 6th May 2025, 1.33pm and edited on the 14th May 2025, 11.52am in relation to this project.

The estimated volumes of vehicles in relation to the Contracts (based on historical data) are as follows:

WYP Auctioned Vehicles per annum = 1,963

WYP Scrap Vehicles per annum = 5,217

HP Auctioned Vehicles per annum = 489

HP Scrap Vehicles per annum = 1,776

We would like to notify the market of this imminent tender opportunity for these concession contracts (WYP and HP) which we anticipate will be published late October / early November 2026.

The WYP and HP Concession Contracts are anticipated to commence on the 1st June 2027 for a period of four (4) years with provision to extend for a further period, or successive periods, up to the 31st May 2033.

Please ensure that you are registered with our e-tendering portal (the Blue Light National E-Commercial System) which can be accessed via the following link; https://atamis-7459.my.site.com/s/Welcome if you wish to participate in this tender when it goes live.

We are also interested in identifying any market developments or any barriers for consideration with this service provision and wish to ascertain if there are sufficient numbers of providers in the market who are able to undertake our requirements to scrap, recycle and auction vehicles for both Forces as a one-stop-shop.
