Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stafford Borough Council procured one Ford van for delivery in the West Midlands. The requirement is for a goods supply rather than construction or a service, and is classified as vans (CPV 34136000). The procurement title identifies it as Lot 2 under the TPPL Stafford Borough Council HCC arrangement, with the vehicle described as a Ford Van, reference 32817. Stafford Borough Council is the buying organisation, based at the Civic Centre in Stafford. The practical scope is a single vehicle supply for the council’s requirements in the West Midlands. This is therefore relevant mainly to vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealers, commercial vehicle retailers, fleet suppliers and businesses able to source and provide Ford vans to a public-sector buyer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Stafford Borough Council selected Ford Retail T/A Trust Ford as supplier on 13 July 2026. The awarded value is £28,800, and the contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026. The procurement used a tender process, with the requirement recorded as complete and the award active. The purchase covers one vehicle, rather than multiple lots or a broader fleet programme. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as goods and records the supplier as a large organisation. The award outcome shows that the council’s selected supplier was a commercial Ford vehicle retailer able to fulfil the specified single-van requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the opportunity is useful market evidence about Stafford Borough Council’s commercial vehicle requirements: the buyer purchased one Ford van through the TPPL Stafford Borough Council HCC Lot 2 route at a defined single-vehicle scale. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need access to Ford vans, the ability to supply a compliant vehicle to a local-authority buyer, and the operational capacity to handle procurement through the relevant purchasing arrangement. Vehicle dealerships, manufacturer-backed retailers, fleet suppliers and commercial vehicle distributors are the clearest potential competitors. The awarded supplier’s large-organisation status indicates that established vehicle businesses with reliable sourcing, sales and delivery processes can satisfy this type of council requirement.
