Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured one Ford Transit 350 L3 H3 Trend van for Oldbury Training. The vehicle specification is a 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine producing 165PS, with rear-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This is a motor vehicle purchase rather than a servicing, leasing or vehicle-conversion requirement. Delivery is to the West Midlands, for use by the fire service’s training operation. The buying organisation is West Midlands Fire Service, based in Birmingham. The requirement falls within the purchase of light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes, covering suppliers able to provide a specified commercial van to the required configuration and delivery location.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Ford Motor Company Limited on 29 July 2026. The awarded value was £36,468.40 including the stated currency of GBP, with a contract period from 29 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The estimated procurement value was £36,468.40, with a stated minimum value of £36,468. The requirement was handled through a limited procedure using a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold, via CCS Framework RM6244, Lot 2. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 5pm. The contract was evaluated as a purchase of goods, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from West Midlands Fire Service for a new light commercial van for training operations, with the specification set around a Ford Transit 350 L3 H3 Trend and a particular engine, drivetrain and automatic transmission. Suppliers positioned for comparable work would need access to suitable commercial vehicles, reliable manufacturer or dealership supply arrangements, and the ability to meet an exact vehicle specification rather than offer a general fleet solution. Experience supplying public-sector or operational fleet customers would help demonstrate credibility. The procurement route also shows the relevance of CCS Framework RM6244 Lot 2 and competitive quotation processes below the threshold for businesses supplying light and medium commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes.
