## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of five 17-seater minibuses has been overseen by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, a regional authority located in Bootle, United Kingdom. The contract, identified as MFRS 2226-81, relates to the goods category, specifically minibuses classified under CPV code 34114400. This process is at the awarding stage, as evidenced by its completion status and the contract's signing date of 22 May 2026. Ford Retail Limited, located in Colchester, has been awarded the contract, valued at £236,702.85. The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure conducted through the YPO Framework, without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside standard directive applications.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and leasing of vehicles, particularly those with experience in providing specialised transport solutions like minibuses. Companies that are large-scale suppliers, similar to Ford Retail Limited, with the capability to meet regional requirements promptly, could effectively compete in such procurement activities. Participation in similar tenders could offer firms a steady revenue stream and the chance to establish or enhance their presence within the public sector transport supply market, particularly in supporting local and regional authorities across the UK.
