Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service purchased one Mercedes-Benz 515 Crew chassis cab, a light or medium commercial van for emergency services use. The requirement covers supply of the vehicle rather than construction or a broader fleet service. Delivery is to the West Midlands, with the buyer based at its headquarters in Birmingham. The purchase falls within the goods category and is classified as vans (CPV 34136000). The vehicle is intended for the Fire Service’s operational needs, making this relevant to commercial vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers, fleet suppliers and businesses able to provide crew-cab chassis vehicles suitable for emergency-service applications. The named buyer is West Midlands Fire Service.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective direct award call-off from the GCA RM6422 framework, formerly CCS, Lot 5 for blue-light light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes. The tender deadline was 22 June 2026 at 5pm. West Midlands Fire Service awarded the contract to Midlands Truck & Van Ltd on 15 July 2026 for £49,989 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 4 August 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open competition.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from West Midlands Fire Service for a Mercedes-Benz 515 Crew chassis cab within its emergency-services vehicle framework. Businesses seeking comparable work would need the ability to supply the specified Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, understand crew-cab chassis requirements and meet the operational expectations associated with blue-light fleet procurement. Access to the relevant GCA RM6422 framework, particularly its light and medium commercial vehicle provision up to 7.5 tonnes, is central to competing through the same route. Vehicle dealers, manufacturers’ representatives and fleet suppliers with suitable procurement credentials, reliable sourcing and delivery capability in the West Midlands would be well placed to pursue similar requirements when this buyer next reviews its vehicle needs.
