UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured a replacement Ford Kuga passenger vehicle. This is a goods requirement for a motor vehicle, intended to replace an existing vehicle used by the council. The buyer is the Council of the City of Wakefield, a public authority based in Wakefield. The awarded supplier is Ford Retail Limited, which trades through TrustFord. The requirement is for one vehicle under a single lot. The vehicle is a Ford Kuga rather than a broader vehicle fleet, maintenance, leasing or transport-services contract. Businesses specialising in supplying Ford vehicles, passenger cars or replacement vehicles for public-sector organisations would find the subject matter relevant. The procurement is associated with activity in the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a tender titled Replacement Vehicle. Ford Retail Limited was selected as supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £21,349. The award date is not separately recorded, but the contract was signed immediately before the completed outcome was published. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the requirement comprised one lot. This was a below-threshold purchase of one Ford Kuga motor vehicle for the council.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Wakefield Council’s requirement for individual replacement passenger vehicles rather than a large fleet or complex services package. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need to supply Ford Kuga vehicles or comparable replacement cars, understand vehicle specification and public-sector purchasing requirements, and provide reliable delivery and contract administration. The successful supplier was Ford Retail Limited, so relevant market capability includes established Ford dealership or manufacturer-linked supply, access to the required model, and the capacity to handle a council purchase at modest single-vehicle scale. Firms serving local-authority fleets, including smaller vehicle dealerships and specialist public-sector vehicle suppliers, may be well placed for similar requirements.
