Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln has completed a procurement process for a "Salary Sacrifice - Car Lease Scheme." This service falls under the industry category of vehicle-fleet-support services and encompasses financial leasing and benefit services. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The total value of the contract amounts to £700,000. The procurement stage is the award, with the contract awarded to TuskerDirect Limited on 17th September 2025, and the contract period spanning from 2nd December 2025 to 1st December 2029. The services will be rendered at the University of Lincoln's location in England, postal code LN2 2LG.

This tender offers significant growth potential for companies specialising in fleet management and leasing solutions, particularly those capable of providing web-based platforms for employee engagement. While the procurement favoured larger firms, as indicated by the non-suitability for SMEs and VCSEs, businesses in the financial services sector with experience in large-scale contracts might find similar opportunities rewarding. The awarded contract highlights a robust partnership between a major educational institution and a large-scale supplier, indicating that well-established service providers have a competitive edge in winning such tenders.
