UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority is procuring a framework for the supply, delivery and collection of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) for firefighter training and demonstration. Vehicles will be cut, have their doors and roofs removed, and be set on fire as part of the training activity. The requirement is divided geographically across the Authority’s operational sites: the Black Country borough command areas, Birmingham borough command areas, and Coventry and Solihull borough command areas. This is a goods procurement for transport equipment and related products. Suppliers would need to provide suitable vehicles and manage their delivery and collection to the Authority’s sites in these areas, supporting practical emergency-response training and demonstrations.

The process has reached tender: the Authority invited offers through an open procedure. The total estimated value is £280,000 gross, divided into three lots: £100,000 for the Black Country, £100,000 for Birmingham, and £80,000 for Coventry and Solihull. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 17:00; enquiries closed on 10 August 2026 at 23:59, and the intended award period ended on 31 August 2026 at 23:59:59. Each lot has a contract period from 9 September 2026 to 9 September 2028, with two discretionary 12-month extensions available, potentially extending performance to 11 September 2030. Evaluation is 60% price, 35% quality and 5% social value.

This opportunity suits vehicle suppliers, salvage or recycling businesses, vehicle recovery operators and firms able to source, prepare and transport end-of-life vehicles for controlled training use. Relevant capability includes supplying the specified classes of vehicles, delivering them to fire-service sites, collecting them afterwards, and accommodating the cutting, stripping and burning activities required by the Authority’s specification. Suppliers can bid for geographically defined work in the Black Country, Birmingham, or Coventry and Solihull, which may suit small and medium-sized enterprises with local vehicle access and transport capacity. Bidders must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least £140,000 over the last two years and achieve a moderate or higher CreditSafe risk rating. Quality responses and additional social value commitments are also required.
