Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stafford Borough Council procured one Ford van for delivery in the West Midlands. This is a goods requirement for a commercial vehicle, classified under CPV 34136000 (vans). The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is focused on supplying a single vehicle rather than vehicle maintenance, fleet management or a wider transport service. The awarded supplier, Ford Retail T/A Trust Ford, is a large organisation based in Colchester. The opportunity is therefore relevant to vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealers and commercial vehicle distributors able to supply Ford vans to a local authority in the West Midlands. Businesses offering unrelated goods, vehicle servicing alone or general consultancy would not be aligned with this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a tender process. Stafford Borough Council awarded the contract to Ford Retail T/A Trust Ford on 13 July 2026 for £28,400 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026. The procurement covers one vehicle and has a total estimated value of £28,400. The published outcome records the award as active. The requirement was assessed as a goods procurement, and the available procurement details identify the tender as a Stafford Borough Council requirement under the TPPL Stafford Borough Council HCC Lot 2 reference.

This award shows that Stafford Borough Council purchases commercial vans through a structured public tender and that a large, established vehicle retailer was selected for a single-vehicle requirement. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to Ford commercial vehicles, the ability to quote clearly against a defined vehicle specification, and the operational capacity to arrange prompt delivery to the West Midlands. Experience supplying public bodies or fleet customers would help demonstrate understanding of public-sector purchasing, documentation and delivery expectations. The requirement is relatively focused, so suppliers with an efficient dealership or distribution model may be better placed than businesses built around large fleet programmes. Smaller organisations should note that the procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
