## Summary

The Council of the City of Wakefield bought one van for its Bereavement Service. This is a vehicle supply requirement, classified as motor vehicles, for use in the council’s bereavement services. Delivery is in the Wakefield area. The scope recorded is a single van; no further vehicle specification or service requirements are described in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Ford Retail Limited was selected as supplier and the contract was signed on 9 October 2026. The contract runs from 9 October 2026 to 10 September 2029 and is valued at £40,002 including gross value. It was a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is recorded as unknown. The purchase was handled as one lot. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are recorded in the available details.

This award shows Wakefield Council’s demand for a single van to support its Bereavement Service, with the supply delivered in the Wakefield area. Ford Retail Limited, a large vehicle supplier, won the contract. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to be able to source and supply a suitable van for local authority use, and handle delivery to the council’s required location. The published scope is limited to one vehicle, so this is a relatively contained supply requirement rather than a fleet procurement. The award provides a specific example of the council buying a vehicle directly for a service need; comparable vehicle suppliers may find it relevant when assessing this buyer’s future purchasing needs.
