## Summary

Coventry City Council bought seven pest-control vehicles for use in the West Midlands. This is a vehicle supply requirement, rather than a pest-control service contract: the purchase covers the vehicles themselves. The procurement description identifies the quantity and intended use but gives no vehicle specifications or makes. The buyer is Coventry City Council, based in Coventry. The goods category is motor vehicles (CPV 34100000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ford Retail Limited on 6 October 2026. The award value was £184,159.85. The contract period runs from 6 October to 31 December 2026. Coventry City Council made a direct award through the TPPL vehicle purchase framework, as a call-off; the recorded procurement method is selective. The tender’s stated estimated value is also £184,159.85. No lots are recorded. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Coventry City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a seven-vehicle fleet purchase for pest-control operations, delivered in the West Midlands. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable vehicles in a fleet-sized order and be able to fulfil a council purchase through the relevant vehicle framework route. The awarded supplier was Ford Retail Limited, a large business, showing that a substantial motor retailer can meet the requirement. The available description does not establish specific vehicle models, adaptations, technical standards or service requirements, so the demonstrated opportunity is vehicle supply rather than specialist pest-control delivery.
