Notice Title

ULEV and Electric Car Leasing for BBC Employees

Notice Description

The BBC is looking to appoint a provider that can lease Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEV) to BBC staff as an optional staff benefit. The Provider will give access to BBC staff to a fleet of ULEV electric cars for personal lease and provide all elements of the lease including, but not limited to, insurance, tax, maintenance and breakdown cover. The contract is for an initial three year period with an optional extension of a further two years, with staff able to take up a lease in any of these years. The total cost of the contract is a range between PS4,753,000 and PS33,485,000 which will not be paid by the BBC, but taken as part of a salary sacrifice scheme with NI and Tax savings benefits for BBC employees.
