Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service bought a lease for a BMW iX1 electric car, supplied to employees through a salary sacrifice scheme. The vehicle specified is the 150kW eDrive20 M Sport, with a 65kWh battery and five doors. The requirement is for vehicle leasing and supply rather than vehicle manufacture. Delivery is recorded for the West Midlands. The selected supplier is Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The award date was 7 September 2026, and the recorded contract period runs from 7 to 8 September 2026. The awarded value is £26,478. The buyer used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold, with a submission deadline of 6 September 2026 at 5pm. The purchase was a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. The stated estimated value range was £26,477 to £26,478.

This purchase shows demand from West Midlands Fire Service for an electric car lease that can be offered to employees through a salary sacrifice arrangement, using the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. A credible competitor for a repeat requirement would need to provide the specified type of electric vehicle through an employee benefit scheme and be able to deliver under the relevant framework call-off route. The procurement identifies a particular BMW model, so suppliers with access to that vehicle and the ability to arrange its lease would be well matched. The process was conducted through competitive quotation below threshold.
