Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Suffolk Coastal District Council and Waveney District Council involves a contract award for the "ESSL Hire Vehicles" project within the motor vehicles industry category. The procurement follows a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded supplier is Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited, and the contract is valued at £100,000. The services will be delivered to the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is complete, with the award being active since 16th December 2025 and publicly announced on 27th January 2026. The contract period spans from 8th January 2026 to 7th January 2028.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specializing in motor vehicle services, particularly those capable of delivering fleet rental solutions under a framework agreement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might find this type of procurement accessible due to its structured framework approach, though this specific contract has been awarded to a large enterprise. Businesses eager to expand into the public sector and establish a presence in the East of England's motor vehicles market could benefit from similar future opportunities by maintaining awareness of such framework agreements and pre-qualifying for selective tenders.
