Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council has successfully completed the contracting process for establishing a Car Club aimed at providing shared electric vehicles, as part of its commitment to sustainable travel and cost reduction within the borough. The procurement, under the category of vehicle-fleet management services, was pursued through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £129,071.4, has been awarded to Co Wheels CIC and is set to commence on 1st December 2025, with an end date of 30th November 2030. The project is situated in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and the award was officially published on 23rd December 2025.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in sustainable and low-emission transport solutions. Companies in the vehicle-fleet management sector, especially those focusing on electric vehicles, may find aligning with such initiatives beneficial for expanding their market presence and demonstrating capability in supporting environmental sustainability. The awarded supplier, Co Wheels CIC, exemplifies the type of enterprise that is ideally positioned to deliver on the contract’s objectives, being both an SME and a VCSE.
