Summary of the contracting process

The University of Wolverhampton Enterprise Limited has successfully awarded a contract for ad-hoc car hire services, designated under the title "25-60 Vehicle Hire." This procurement process, identified as a direct procurement method, culminated in the awarding of the contract on 5th November 2025, with the contract period running from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2028. The procurement falls within the "services" category under the CPV classification "motor vehicles for the transport of fewer than 10 persons" and is structured as a non-scheduled passenger transport service within the United Kingdom. Despite the tender period ending on 5th November 2025, the latest award was published on 18th November 2025, indicating the completion of the procurement process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle hire and non-scheduled passenger transport services. With a total contract value of £200,000, it provides ample growth potential for suppliers able to offer innovative and efficient vehicle hire solutions. However, it's geared towards larger enterprises as the suitability criteria did not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs. Businesses like Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited, which successfully secured this contract, exemplify the type of well-established providers poised to leverage such procurement opportunities to expand their business presence in the UK market.
