Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed the procurement process for the "DfT Groupwide Vehicle Hire Solution," intended for operational vehicle hire across various member organisations within the DfT family, including MCA, DVSA, DVLA, and others. Classified under the "Motor vehicles" industry, this tender process was part of a selective competition under Lot 1 RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solution framework. The contract, valued at £21,083,802, covers a wide geographical area including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. The procurement stage has been marked as complete, with the contract period set from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028.

This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in vehicle hire services, particularly those that can meet the diverse operational needs of multiple entities within the DfT family. Companies able to offer compliant motor vehicle solutions on a large scale would be well-suited to compete in such frameworks. While this specific contract has been awarded to Enterprise Rent-A-Car, SMEs are encouraged to engage in similar future tenders, given the DfT’s inclusivity towards smaller enterprises in their procurement strategies. Winning such a contract can significantly enhance a company's portfolio and market reputation within the public sector vehicle hire service industry.
