Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service bought a leased Tesla Model Y rear-wheel-drive, five-door automatic electric vehicle with textile and vegan-leather trim. The vehicle is supplied to employees through a salary sacrifice scheme, with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust named as the supplier. The requirement was handled as a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. The recorded delivery location is in the West Midlands. This is a vehicle leasing and employee-benefits requirement, rather than a purchase of a vehicle fleet or a general electric-vehicle supply programme. The procurement description identifies one specified Model Y configuration, so the relevant market is suppliers able to provide that vehicle through the framework route and support its use within an employee salary sacrifice arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The award date was 7 September 2026, and the award value was £31,176. The contract period runs from 7 to 8 September 2026. The requirement was procured by competitive quotation below the threshold, as a limited procedure and a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. The tender deadline was 6 September 2026 at 5pm. The estimated tender value was between £31,175 and £31,176. There was one specified vehicle requirement, with no lot breakdown recorded. The published award information identifies the selected supplier and an active award. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

For suppliers assessing similar work from West Midlands Fire Service, this award shows demand for a leased, single-model electric vehicle delivered through an employee salary sacrifice scheme, using the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework call-off route and competitive quotation. A credible competitor would need framework access, the ability to source the required Tesla Model Y specification, and an arrangement that supports employee leasing through salary sacrifice. The named supplier is a large organisation, which indicates that this particular requirement was fulfilled by a substantial provider, though the procurement does not state formal capacity thresholds or required accreditations. Businesses focused on fleet-wide supply, vehicle manufacturing, or unrelated employee benefits are less closely aligned with the narrow, specified vehicle requirement. The outcome may be useful evidence for suppliers that can combine vehicle provision with the framework and benefit-scheme delivery model.
