Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator procured vehicle hire services for business travel. The requirement is a service contract covering the provision of hire vehicles to support the regulator’s business travel needs. Delivery is associated with Brighton, at the regulator’s address on Preston Road, and the wider South East of England. The buyer is The Pensions Regulator, a UK public body responsible for regulating workplace pension schemes. This opportunity sits within the business travel services category and is relevant to vehicle rental companies, fleet operators and suppliers able to provide reliable hire vehicles for organisational travel across Brighton and the South East. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 9 September 2026 to Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited. The awarded value is £29,700, with an estimated range of £21,000 to £29,700. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2029. The supplier is a large vehicle rental company. The procurement was for services and used a framework call-off route rather than an open standalone tender. The award is active and the tender status is complete, so this contract is no longer at bidding stage.

This award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for dependable vehicle hire supporting business travel in Brighton and the wider South East. Suppliers considering future work with The Pensions Regulator would need access to a suitable rental fleet, the operational capacity to fulfil vehicle bookings consistently, and systems for managing business customers, reservations, collection and return arrangements. A credible competitor would also need to understand public-sector framework call-offs and deliver a straightforward, responsive service against agreed requirements. The opportunity’s stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller or mission-led providers may be able to compete where they can demonstrate the necessary fleet coverage, service reliability and administrative capability. Experience serving organisational or public-sector travel users would strengthen their position.
