## Summary

The procurement process for the acquisition of Prime Movers was conducted by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, a regional or local authority based in Bootle, United Kingdom. The contract, which falls under the heavy-duty motor vehicles category, was aimed at refreshing the current ageing fleet of Prime Mover (Hook Loader) HGV vehicles for multiple UK regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement method was limited and utilised an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, completed through the NEPO224 Framework Agreement. The award was finalised and activated on 3rd March 2026 with eStar Truck and Van Limited as the supplier, marking the contract value at £12,952,607.94.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in heavy-duty motor vehicles, particularly those experienced in framework agreements and capable of catering to large-scale regional needs. Businesses proficient in offering competitive pricing and providing optional extensions, such as a 1-year extension, would find this contract appealing. The successful fulfilment by eStar Truck and Van Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Knowlsley, highlights the potential for other similar enterprises to engage in such substantial procurement processes and join the network of reliable suppliers to regional authorities in the fire and rescue sector.
