## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands bought bespoke conversion services for a multicage dog vehicle, to create a dog transport van fitted to the buyer’s requirements. The work falls within motor vehicle conversion services and was intended for use by West Midlands Police. The requirement is a specialist vehicle build rather than a general vehicle purchase: suppliers need to convert a suitable vehicle and fit multiple cages for transporting dogs. The contract was awarded to a vehicle-conversion company based in Sheffield, while the delivery location is given as the West Midlands. This is a focused requirement for police dog transport, relevant to businesses with experience designing and carrying out bespoke vehicle adaptations for operational use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cartwright Vehicle Conversions Limited. The buyer used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 13 February 2026 and runs from 14 February to 14 May 2026. Its value is £99,900 excluding VAT, or £119,880 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the multicage dog vehicle conversion. The award is active and the contract is recorded as active. The published procurement details do not set out selection requirements or an evaluation basis, as the contract was awarded without a competitive process.

This award shows that the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands buys specialist conversions for police dog transport, with multiple cages fitted to a vehicle as a bespoke build. A credible future competitor would need practical vehicle-conversion capability, including the design and installation skills to create a safe, functional multicage layout suited to operational use. The buyer’s direct award reflects the stated scarcity of companies able to deliver this kind of build, so relevant evidence would include completed multicage dog-vehicle conversions and the ability to meet a tailored specification. This is a compact, specialist service requirement rather than routine fleet maintenance or standard vehicle supply; suppliers without relevant conversion experience are less closely matched.
