Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service purchased ten electric vans for use at its fire stations, replacing part of its existing fleet. The requirement covers six Peugeot E-Partner Crewvan Professional Long vans with 52kWh batteries in Ardent red, and four Peugeot E-Expert Crewvan XL Professional Standard vans with 75kWh batteries in Ardent red. This is a vehicle supply contract, classified under CPV 34136000 for vans, with delivery in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is West Midlands Fire Service, based in Birmingham. The requirement is for complete vehicles rather than fleet management, maintenance or other supporting services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 22 May 2026 at 5pm. West Midlands Fire Service awarded the contract to Peugeot Motor Company PLC on 9 June 2026. The awarded value is £232,993.60 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 10 June 2026 to 30 December 2026. The purchase is not divided into separately reported lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award concerns goods rather than works or services. The selected supplier is a large organisation.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for supplying electric commercial vans to a fire and rescue service, including both crewvan and larger van formats with different battery capacities. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement from West Midlands Fire Service would need credible capability to provide electric vans suitable for operational fire-station use, manage delivery of a mixed vehicle order, and supply vehicles in the specified configurations and colour. The procurement route also matters: the purchase was made as a framework call-off, so businesses seeking comparable work should consider whether they can access the relevant framework route. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller vehicle suppliers may be capable of competing where they can meet the fleet requirement.
