Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured a Ford Kuga passenger vehicle for its York Villas operation. This is a goods requirement in the motor vehicle category, covering the supply of one named vehicle rather than vehicle maintenance, fleet management or wider transport services. The buying organisation is based in Wakefield, and delivery is associated with West Yorkshire. The awarded supplier is Ford Retail Limited, trading through TrustFord. Businesses relevant to this requirement would include motor vehicle manufacturers, franchised dealerships and vehicle supply companies able to provide Ford vehicles through an authorised sales channel. The procurement is specific to a Ford Kuga, so suppliers offering other vehicle types or only general automotive services would not be a close match.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the published method detail is recorded as unknown. One lot was awarded to Ford Retail Limited. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and is active from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its value is £21,310 gross. The award covers the motor vehicle supply requirement for the York Villas Car procurement. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The evaluation outcome selected Ford Retail Limited as the supplier, and the procurement is therefore no longer at the tendering stage. The available outcome shows a single supplier and a single vehicle requirement, rather than separate awards or a multi-supplier framework.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Wakefield Council for a Ford Kuga passenger vehicle, supplied through a below-threshold route and fulfilled by Ford Retail Limited. A competitor seeking similar work from this buyer would need access to Ford vehicles and the ability to supply a specific passenger car rather than offer only vehicle servicing, leasing administration or general transport support. Credibility would also depend on matching the stated vehicle specification, arranging delivery to the West Yorkshire requirement and completing the council’s commercial and administrative process efficiently. Franchised dealers and automotive businesses with established manufacturer supply arrangements are therefore better placed than firms without direct access to the required make and model.
