Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority involves the acquisition of 12 Mercedes-Benz 515 Crew chassis cabs. This procurement falls under the industry category of vans and is part of a goods purchase directly awarded to Midlands Truck & Van Ltd via the CCS RM6422 framework, specifically Lot 5 which pertains to Bluelight fleets. The procurement, tagged under 'award' and 'contract', is in the completion stage, with a contract signed on 4th August 2025 for £635,000. The project is situated in the West Midlands region (UKG3), and the procurement followed a limited method, without prior publication of a call for competition, signifying a direct award due to the sole supplier circumstances.

This tender presents distinct opportunities for businesses that specialise in supplying commercial and emergency service vehicles, particularly those experienced with framework agreements. While this specific procurement was a direct award, other companies could prepare by establishing partnerships and becoming eligible under similar framework agreements. Enterprises adept in contract supply to regional authorities and capable of meeting stringent public safety and operational requirements could leverage similar opportunities to expand their business in the emergency services sector. Large suppliers with an extensive inventory or capacity for customisation would be particularly suited to compete in future tenders of this nature.
