Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

DEFRA commissioned the design and delivery of a fleet asset-sharing solution under the Fleet Asset-Sharing Optimisation requirement. This is a professional management consultancy service, classified under CPV 79411000, rather than the supply of vehicles or routine fleet operations. The buying organisation is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, based in Marsham Street, London. The solution is intended for delivery across the United Kingdom, with the stated geographic scope also extending to Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. Businesses with experience combining fleet management, asset-sharing models, operating-model design and practical technology or service delivery are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. DEFRA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 16 September 2026 to Deloitte LLP for £476,407 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 16 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is categorised as services and was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier is recorded for the award. The published outcome therefore identifies a completed framework call-off rather than a procurement still progressing towards supplier selection.

This award is useful market evidence for consultancies and delivery partners working on public-sector fleet transformation. A credible competitor for a future requirement from DEFRA would need to show that it can design an asset-sharing solution and carry it through to delivery, not merely provide strategic advice. Relevant capability includes fleet and asset management, demand and utilisation analysis, service or operating-model design, stakeholder coordination across a geographically broad estate, and the implementation of practical processes or technology. Experience delivering management consultancy for central government or similarly complex organisations would strengthen a future proposition. The route used here also shows the importance of access to a suitable framework and the ability to deliver a defined, time-limited transformation assignment at substantial scale.
