Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chelmsford City Council procured vehicle leasing services for three motor vehicles, each weighing up to 3.5 tonnes. The requirement covers leasing rather than vehicle purchase and was placed through the Government Commercial Agency’s Vehicle Lease, Fleet Management and Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes Framework, under its vehicle-leasing lot. The procurement is classified as motor vehicles (CPV 34100000) and falls within the services category. The vehicles are for delivery associated with postcode CB11 4ER. This is a council fleet requirement, so relevant businesses include vehicle leasing companies, fleet management providers and suppliers able to arrange and support leased vehicles for a public-sector customer. The named buying organisation is Chelmsford City Council, based at the Civic Centre in Chelmsford, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Athlon Mobility Services UK Limited on 30 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £40,840.68 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2029, providing vehicle leasing for three years. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from the RM6268 framework, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 23:59 British Summer Time. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, with Athlon Mobility Services UK Limited named as the sole supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; no separate award weighting is stated.

This award demonstrates established demand from Chelmsford City Council for a small, defined vehicle-leasing requirement covering three vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need a vehicle-leasing offer suitable for public-sector fleet use, with the ability to provide and administer multiple vehicles over a multi-year term. Relevant capability includes arranging vehicles within the weight limit, managing lease obligations and supporting the council throughout the service period. Access to the relevant GCA framework is commercially important because this requirement was bought through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller leasing or fleet specialists may be credible competitors where they can meet the framework’s conditions and deliver the required vehicle and account-management capacity.
