This contract, titled "24112 Further competition under TPPL Framework Fleet Rental Lot 4 for the Supply of Vehicles for Adult Social Care and Children's Fleet," falls within the transport services industry (excluding waste transport) and will operate in the East of England, specifically across Cambridgeshire County.

The contract, valued at approximately £1,778,400 GBP, will commence on 13th October 2025 and is set to run for four years, with an optional extension for an additional two years.

Notice Title

24112 Further competition under TPPL Framework Fleet Rental Lot 4 for the Supply of Vehicles for Adult Social Care and Children's Fleet

Notice Description

We are seeking to procure a service that offers a suitable and flexible fleet vehicle supply solution. Our approach is to obtain a maximum of 22 wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Currently we commission 22 fleet vehicles, consisting of 15 vehicles that support Adult Social Care and home-to-school transport, 4 vehicles that are procured on behalf of Children's Services, and 3 vehicles that are sub-leased to service user groups, who club together to access their vehicles through our contractual arrangements. These vehicles will be distributed throughout Cambridgeshire County. We aim to secure long-term vehicles for our 19-vehicle core fleet, where drivers are employed to deliver services, as well as for day centres experiencing high demand. For the remaining vehicles, we plan to utilise short-term hire options that provide the best value for money to meet demand and address service challenges This procurement will be for 48 months with the option to extension for a further 24 months in 12 month intervals. The procurement will be a further competition under the TPPL Framework Fleet Rental Lot 4 - applying will be only to the bidders who are currently on the framework and not other bidders will be able to apply. To be clear this is a call off on an invite only basis
