UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority bought five Smart Lite bulk AdBlue tanks for installation at selected fire service stations. The requirement is for the supply of goods rather than an ongoing service, with the tanks to be fitted at stations chosen by the Authority. AdBlue is a diesel-engine emissions-control fluid, so the procurement supports the operation and refuelling of the Authority’s diesel vehicle fleet. The buying organisation is based at Fire Service Headquarters in Birmingham. The awarded requirement is classified under diesel fuel, although the stated subject is specifically AdBlue tanks. It is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and installation providers able to supply bulk AdBlue storage equipment for operational vehicle stations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one lot. GREENCHEM (SOLUTIONS) LIMITED was selected as supplier and the contract was signed on 22 September 2026. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 29 September 2026. Its value is £34,750 excluding VAT, or £41,700 including VAT. The award is for five tanks. The published process identifies the procurement category as goods and records the procedure as limited competition below the relevant threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. This was a single-supplier outcome, with the selected supplier responsible for the stated tank supply and fitting requirement.

This award shows that West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority purchases bulk AdBlue storage equipment for fitting at operational stations, creating a useful reference point for suppliers serving emergency-service vehicle fleets. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply Smart Lite or comparable bulk AdBlue tanks and arrange their fitting at stations selected by the Authority. Relevant businesses include tank manufacturers, specialist AdBlue or vehicle-fuelling distributors, and installation contractors able to work alongside them. The winning supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that delivery was achievable by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large national contractor. Evidence of reliable equipment supply, site installation capability and understanding of diesel fleet-support requirements would strengthen a future response.
