Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured vehicle hire services for its operations, classified as transport services. The requirement covers the provision of hired vehicles rather than transport infrastructure, construction or waste transport. Delivery is across England, with the council as the buying organisation. The procurement was conducted under the CCS RM6265 vehicle-hire arrangement, indicating a requirement for a supplier able to provide vehicles through an established public-sector purchasing route. The service sits within the wider transport-services category and is suitable for businesses operating vehicle rental fleets, fleet management services or related commercial vehicle-hire operations. Suppliers serving public bodies across England would be the most relevant audience for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The submission deadline was 16 November 2025 at 23:59. Redditch Borough Council awarded the contract to Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK on 1 December 2025 for £400,000. The contract runs from 18 December 2025 to 17 December 2027. The award is active. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the stated procurement category is services. This was a single vehicle-hire requirement rather than a multi-lot competition. The published outcome records one supplier and one awarded value; no separate lot values or additional awards are reported.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for vehicle-hire services in England and shows that the requirement can be placed through a direct award under the CCS RM6265 route. A credible future supplier would need access to a suitable vehicle fleet, reliable availability across the required geography and the operational capacity to manage bookings, substitutions, maintenance and customer support for a public-sector customer. Experience of supplying councils or other public bodies would help demonstrate dependable service delivery, contract management and compliance with public-sector processes. Although the requirement was marked suitable for SMEs, competing businesses would need sufficient fleet coverage and resilience to match the capability of a large national rental provider.
