Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured specialist vehicles for its Personal User Scheme fleet for 2026, with Kia specified in the requirement title. This is a vehicle supply contract rather than a works or services requirement. Delivery locations are listed across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is National Highways Limited, based in Birmingham. The procurement is for vehicles supplied to support the buyer’s personal user fleet; no further vehicle specifications or quantities are stated in the available requirement details.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fish Brothers (Swindon) Kia. The award date was 15 September 2026, and the awarded value is £152,000. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was procured selectively as a call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated procurement value was also £152,000. The tender deadline was 14 September 2026. The process is recorded as one vehicle-supply requirement, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as unsuitable. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award confirms demand from National Highways for Kia vehicles for its Personal User Scheme fleet, with delivery potentially spanning the UK and international locations. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to supply the specified Kia vehicles and support delivery across the buyer’s stated geographic reach. The successful supplier was Fish Brothers (Swindon) Kia, showing that a vehicle dealership or supplier able to fulfil the buyer’s fleet requirement can win through a framework call-off route. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers should consider whether they can meet the scale and framework participation requirements associated with this buyer’s fleet purchasing.
