Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire Constabulary procured a vehicle hire service for motor vehicles, delivered across the North West of England. The requirement covers the provision of hired vehicles for the constabulary through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solutions framework. It is a goods procurement focused on vehicle access rather than vehicle manufacturing, maintenance or construction. The buying organisation is Lancashire Constabulary, based in Preston. The requirement is intended to support the constabulary’s operational transport needs over a multi-year arrangement, with vehicle hire supplied by a commercial rental provider. Businesses active in fleet rental, vehicle supply and managed hire services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to serve policing or other public-sector operational customers across the North West.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Lancashire Constabulary used a selective call-off from the RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solutions framework. The contract was awarded to Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited on 16 September 2026 for £760,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, including the stated option for annual extensions through 30 September 2030. The original tender submission deadline was 9 September 2026. The awarded requirement covers the full vehicle hire service rather than separate lots. The published procurement status is complete, and the award is active. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route rather than an open standalone competition.

The award demonstrates established demand from Lancashire Constabulary for a substantial, multi-year vehicle hire arrangement in the North West. A credible future competitor would need the operational scale to supply and manage a varied vehicle fleet, arrange vehicles reliably for public-sector users, and maintain service continuity across the contract area. Relevant strengths would include broad rental coverage, fleet availability, responsive fulfilment, robust booking and account-management processes, and experience serving organisations with operational or emergency-service requirements. The successful supplier is a large vehicle-rental business, indicating that capacity and dependable delivery were important commercial characteristics. Smaller firms are less directly suited to this requirement unless they can provide comparable fleet scale, geographic coverage and service resilience through an established operating model.
