Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office procured passenger cars for the Government Car Services ministerial fleet. This is a supply contract for vehicles rather than vehicle maintenance, leasing, driving services or construction works. The vehicles are intended for use across the United Kingdom. The purchasing organisation is the Cabinet Office, based at 70 Whitehall in London. The procurement falls within the passenger-car category (CPV 34110000). The requirement is part of the Cabinet Office’s work to provide vehicles for ministerial transport, so relevant businesses are vehicle manufacturers, authorised automotive dealers and fleet suppliers able to supply suitable passenger cars for government use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Mercedes-Benz Cars UK Limited. The award value is £191,427. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 5pm. The Cabinet Office is the buyer and Mercedes-Benz Cars UK Limited is the selected supplier. The award is active, and a contract-signed document is recorded. The published requirement is classified as goods and covers the supply of passenger cars for the Government Car Services ministerial fleet.

This award demonstrates demand from the Cabinet Office for passenger cars supporting the Government Car Services ministerial fleet. A credible future competitor would need to supply suitable passenger vehicles at fleet scale, meet public-sector purchasing requirements and operate through an applicable framework agreement or another route accepted by the buyer. Relevant strengths would include vehicle manufacturing or authorised dealership capability, reliable fleet fulfilment, efficient delivery across the United Kingdom and experience supplying government or other institutional customers. The successful supplier was a large automotive company, indicating that established vehicle manufacturers and substantial fleet suppliers are the closest commercial comparators for this requirement.
