UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured a replacement vehicle identified as W2224: a Ford Transit with modifications. This is a goods requirement for a motor vehicle, intended for delivery in West Yorkshire. The buyer is the local authority in Wakefield. The requirement is specific to supplying a modified Ford Transit rather than a general vehicle fleet, so it is most relevant to vehicle dealerships, commercial vehicle suppliers, and businesses able to provide or coordinate the required modifications. The procurement concerns one replacement vehicle and was arranged by the council for its own operational needs.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to FORD RETAIL LIMITED. The award is active and the contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £37,880. The process was below threshold, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. The contract is active and relates to the awarded Ford Transit with modifications. The procurement was evaluated through the tender process, but the published outcome does not set out the award criteria or weightings. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Wakefield Council for a replacement commercial vehicle with modifications, rather than an unmodified off-the-shelf car or van. It is relevant to suppliers with access to Ford Transit vehicles and the ability to deliver the required modifications, whether directly or through an established specialist partner. Vehicle dealerships, commercial vehicle distributors, conversion businesses and fleet suppliers with reliable fulfilment arrangements would be the closest competitors for a future requirement of this type. The selected supplier was recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller business can satisfy this scale of council vehicle purchase. Credibility would depend on supplying the specified vehicle and completing the modifications to the council’s requirements.
