Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority procured the supply of Unimog vehicles for wildfire response. This is a goods requirement for specialist motor vehicles, intended for delivery across England. The buyer is a regional public safety authority based in Bootle and Liverpool. The requirement centres on supplying vehicles suitable for wildfire operations rather than general fleet provision, so it is relevant to vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers, specialist commercial vehicle suppliers and businesses able to configure or support Unimog vehicles for fire and rescue use. The procurement concerns one requirement, covering the vehicle supply itself. Suppliers serving public-sector emergency services and able to deliver vehicles across multiple English regions would be the closest commercial match to this buyer’s purchasing pattern.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made through a limited procedure: a direct award via an established framework agreement, without prior publication of a call for competition. Price was the stated award criterion. Lloyd Limited was selected as supplier, with an award date of 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £656,000. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement was arranged as a single lot covering the wildfire vehicle supply; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award and contract remain active. The outcome therefore records a completed framework-based purchase by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority rather than an open competition.

For competitors, this award demonstrates demand from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority for Unimog vehicles configured for wildfire response and sourced through an established framework route. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be those with direct access to Unimog vehicles, the ability to provide fire and rescue-focused specifications, and the operational capacity to deliver across England. Credibility would also depend on experience supplying specialist commercial vehicles to public-sector or emergency-service users, dependable after-sales support, and the ability to meet a price-led evaluation. Framework appointment or access would be commercially important because this purchase used a direct award under an existing framework rather than a newly advertised open competition. The scale indicates a substantial specialist vehicle supply requirement rather than routine fleet maintenance.
