Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured a car club service using up to 36 bays, within a passenger-car rental and vehicle-fleet management requirement. The service is intended for delivery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the wider North East of England. The buying organisation is Newcastle City Council. The requirement is classified as passenger cars (CPV 34110000), with vehicle-fleet management services as an additional classification. The selected supplier is Enterprise Rent A Car, a large vehicle-rental business. This points to an operation requiring access to suitable passenger vehicles, management of a shared car-club fleet and the ability to support vehicle availability across up to 36 designated bays.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Enterprise Rent A Car on 4 November 2024. The award value is £800,000. The recorded contract period runs from 5 November 2024 to 5 December 2024, while the updated requirement gives a contract start date of 13 February 2025 and an end date of 12 February 2027, with two optional 12-month extensions. The tender deadline was 27 August 2024. It was a services procurement for which the published method details state ‘Not specified’. The requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as having received the active award.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Newcastle City Council’s demand for managed car-club and vehicle-rental services. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need to demonstrate substantial fleet-management capability, reliable access to passenger cars and the operational capacity to support vehicles across multiple bays in Newcastle and the North East. The recorded award to a large supplier suggests that scale, established rental operations and the ability to manage an ongoing shared-vehicle service are important competitive factors. Relevant providers should therefore be able to coordinate vehicle deployment, availability and day-to-day fleet operations for a council-led car-club arrangement, rather than offering vehicle hire alone.
