Vehicle Glass Repair and Replacement - 1221
Framework Description
YPO's Vehicle Glass Repair and Replacement framework (1221) covers the supply, fitting, repair and replacement of all types of vehicle glass, including windscreens, side windows and sunroofs, with camera recalibration after replacement. It has two lots, one for blue light and emergency vehicles and one for the wider public sector. Applications for this framework are closed; the extension has been used, so it ends on 31 October 2027.
Context & Use Case
Police, fire and ambulance fleets use Lot 1 to get damaged glass fixed quickly so vehicles return to service, while councils and other public bodies use Lot 2 for their own fleets. Services include roadside repairs, dynamic windscreen calibration and mobile calibration at workshops, which matters for vehicles with camera-based driver assistance systems.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Blue light and emergency vehicles Lot 2: Wider public sector Replacement of windscreens, side windows and sunroofs Glass repair, including roadside repairs Camera recalibration after replacement, including dynamic and mobile calibration
Lots
Lot 1 - Blue Light and Emergency Vehicles; Lot 2 - Wider Public Sector
Who Can Apply
Vehicle glass specialists with mobile fitting and camera calibration capability suit 1221, especially those able to meet blue light response needs. Applications for this framework are closed and its extension used, so firms not appointed must wait for the replacement, which YPO will need before 31 October 2027.
Buyer Benefits
An emergency vehicle with a cracked windscreen is off the road until it is fixed, so buyers prize fast roadside repair. Correct recalibration after replacement keeps driver assistance systems working safely, and a separate blue light lot means emergency services get suppliers assessed against their own response needs.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should record response and calibration performance for further competitions before 31 October 2027. Others should check YPO's page (https://www.ypo.co.uk/frameworks-home/900645) and Find a Tender for the replacement, likely procured during 2027, and prepare evidence of calibration capability, coverage and turnaround times for emergency and council fleets.
