Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bristol has completed the procurement process for introducing an Electric Vehicle (EV) Salary Sacrifice Scheme for its staff. This scheme, classified under the "Electric vehicles" industry category (CPV code: 34144900), marks a new voluntary staff benefit initiative. The procurement details a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, with NHS Fleet Solutions acting as the supplier. The contract, deemed cost-neutral, will run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. Geographic coverage includes multiple regions globally, with the University situated in Bristol, England. The award status was activated on 17th February 2026.

This project offers lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in electric vehicles and related services. SMEs and Voluntary Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to benefit, as indicated suitability criteria encompass these types of organisations. By fostering sustainable staff benefits, suppliers in the electric vehicle service sector can enhance their reach and diversify their client portfolios. Engaging with the University of Bristol's initiative is likely to assist in business growth through an expanding presence across varied geographic locations supported by the initiative.
