Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured an electric vehicle for employee use through a salary sacrifice scheme. The requirement was for a leased Kia EV3 150kW GT-Line S, with an 81.4kWh battery, five doors and automatic transmission. The vehicle is supplied as a staff benefit under the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework, reference 319_23. The procurement is classed as a service, covering the provision and leasing arrangement rather than simply a vehicle purchase. Delivery is to the West Midlands in the United Kingdom. The opportunity is relevant to vehicle leasing companies, electric vehicle suppliers, fleet providers and organisations that can support salary sacrifice or employee vehicle benefit schemes for public-sector staff.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust on 3 July 2026. The awarded value was £31,598.22, with a contract period from 3 July 2026 to 4 July 2026. It used a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold, with the tender closing on 2 July 2026 at 17:00. The requirement was called off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. The published award identifies one active award and one supplier. The estimated minimum value was £31,598 and the upper estimated value was £31,598.22. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the requirement demonstrates demand from fire and emergency-service organisations for electric vehicles delivered through employee salary sacrifice schemes. A credible future supplier would need to provide or arrange suitable electric vehicles, manage vehicle leasing, and understand the administration of staff benefit arrangements. Experience operating through a public-sector framework, particularly the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework, would be commercially relevant because this purchase was made by call-off. Suppliers should also be able to respond efficiently to competitive quotations below threshold and support delivery in the West Midlands. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller vehicle leasing, fleet management and specialist employee-benefit providers may be well placed to compete.
