Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured one Brigade Response Vehicle Plus, a specialist emergency and rescue vehicle for operational fire and rescue work in the West Midlands. The vehicle is converted from a free-issue Mercedes-Benz Sprinter crew cab and includes a purpose-built body for carrying a broad range of fire and rescue equipment. It is fitted with a suitable fire pump and integrated water tank, with seating for four crew members. The vehicle must respond to all types of incidents while providing a smooth, comfortable ride that supports operational efficiency and crew safety. This is a goods procurement covering emergency vehicles and rescue vehicles for the service’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Angloco Limited on 15 July 2026. The awarded value is £107,270, and the contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2038. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 5pm. West Midlands Fire Service used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. One vehicle was awarded under the process. The published outcome records an active award to Angloco Limited. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the vehicle specification covering conversion, equipment capacity, pumping, water storage, crew accommodation and incident response capability.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a specialist fire and rescue vehicle combining commercial vehicle conversion with operational emergency-response equipment. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would have the engineering and manufacturing capability to convert Mercedes-Benz Sprinter crew cabs, design and build purpose-built bodies, integrate fire pumps and water tanks, and provide safe seating for four crew members. Credible competitors would also need to understand the demands of responding to varied fire and rescue incidents, including equipment access, vehicle handling, crew safety and operational reliability. The procurement route shows that relevant suppliers may need access to an appropriate framework agreement. The buyer considered the requirement suitable for SMEs, supporting participation by capable specialist vehicle manufacturers and conversion businesses.
