## Summary

West Midlands Fire Service bought a leased BYD SEAL Design electric car, specified as the 230kW, 83kWh, four-door automatic model. The vehicle is supplied to employees through a salary-sacrifice scheme, under which employees access the lease through deductions from salary. The procurement is for vehicle leasing and supply rather than vehicle manufacturing. The stated delivery location is the West Midlands. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is named as the supplier, while West Midlands Fire Service is the buyer. This requirement was placed through the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework, reference 319_23.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust on 29 September 2026. The awarded value is £30,682.80. The stated contract period runs from 29 to 30 September 2026. The buyer used a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold, through a limited procurement route and as a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. The original tender deadline was 28 September 2026 at 5pm. The reported evaluation basis and award criteria are not set out in the available process details. The procurement was categorised as services, although the requirement itself is the lease of a specified electric vehicle for employee use through the salary-sacrifice scheme.

For suppliers interested in future vehicle requirements from West Midlands Fire Service, this award shows demand for employee vehicle leasing through a salary-sacrifice benefit, delivered by calling off the ESPO Staff Benefit Framework. A credible competitor would need to provide access to the specified BYD SEAL Design, or meet the buyer’s requirements for the same vehicle specification, and support its leasing and supply to employees through the scheme. The procurement was treated as a service and was awarded following a competitive quotation below threshold. Suppliers would therefore need to be positioned to respond to quotation-based call-offs under the framework, rather than relying on a standalone open tender. The published requirement does not identify additional vehicle, service, accreditation or capacity requirements.
