Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured a leased BMW iX1 150kW eDrive20 M Sport, a five-door electric vehicle with a 65kWh battery. The vehicle was to be supplied to employees through a salary sacrifice scheme. The purchase was made as a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework, with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust identified as the supplier. Delivery was associated with the West Midlands. This is a specific vehicle lease supporting an employee benefit arrangement, rather than a general vehicle fleet or vehicle maintenance requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. West Midlands Fire Service used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the threshold, through a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. The award was made on 16 September 2026, for £26,478. The estimated procurement value was £26,478, with a stated minimum value of £26,477. The contract period ran from 16 to 17 September 2026. The submission deadline was 15 September 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was for a single specified vehicle; no separate lots or evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand, this award shows West Midlands Fire Service sourcing a leased electric vehicle for employee use through a salary sacrifice scheme and an ESPO staff benefits framework. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to arrange the lease of the specified BMW iX1 and support supply through that kind of employee benefit arrangement and framework call-off. The procurement was for a particular vehicle rather than a broad fleet package.
