Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured a leased BMW iX2 electric hatchback for employees through a salary sacrifice scheme. The requirement is for an electric vehicle supplied as a staff benefit, with delivery in the West Midlands. The procurement is categorised as a service because it covers vehicle leasing and associated provision rather than a straightforward vehicle purchase. The arrangement was described as a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework, reference 319_23. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was identified as the supplier for this requirement. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while the stated procurement category was services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 July 2026 to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The awarded value was £31,158 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 27 July 2026 to 28 July 2026. It used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the threshold, as a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. The tender had a minimum estimated value of £31,157 and a maximum estimated value of £31,158. The tender submission deadline was 26 July 2026 at 5pm. The award was active, with no cancellation or termination recorded.

For suppliers assessing comparable future requirements from West Midlands Fire Service, this award indicates demand for employee vehicle salary sacrifice arrangements centred on electric cars, delivered through a public-sector framework or a compliant below-threshold quotation route. A credible competitor would need to provide access to suitable electric vehicles such as premium compact hatchbacks, manage leasing and employee benefit administration, and support the operational requirements of a salary sacrifice scheme. Experience supplying public-sector employers would help demonstrate understanding of framework call-offs, quotation procedures, contract administration and employee-facing service delivery. SME suitability suggests that smaller specialist leasing, fleet or employee-benefits providers may be able to compete, either directly or through an established framework position.
