Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured vehicle hire services for Northamptonshire Children’s Trust, covering passenger cars and other vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. The requirement is for public sector vehicle hire solutions under the relevant framework lot, supporting transport needs in the East Midlands. The procurement is categorised as a service for passenger cars (CPV 34110000). The buying organisation is North Northamptonshire Council, based in Kettering. The selected service concerns the provision of hired vehicles rather than vehicle purchase, manufacture, maintenance or construction. Businesses operating vehicle rental fleets, supplying cars and light vehicles, or managing public-sector vehicle hire arrangements would be the closest commercial match to this requirement and its delivery location.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It was run as a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service RM6265 framework, Lot 1 for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. The tender submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was awarded on 15 May 2026. Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited was awarded the contract for £30,000. The contract period runs from 18 May 2026 to 17 November 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and relates to one vehicle-hire requirement in the East Midlands.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from North Northamptonshire Council for short-term public-sector vehicle hire supporting children’s services in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need access to a dependable fleet of passenger cars and light vehicles within the 3.5-tonne limit, together with the operational capacity to provide vehicles in the required area. Experience of serving public-sector customers and the ability to work through the RM6265 framework route would be important. SMEs were considered suitable, so smaller vehicle-hire businesses with adequate fleet coverage, responsive allocation and reliable customer support may be capable of competing when a comparable requirement returns.
