Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured professional fleet consultancy support to help manage its vehicle fleet and maintain compliance with the Council’s operator licence. The requirement is a business and management consultancy service, covering advice and practical support connected with fleet governance, regulatory compliance and ongoing operator-licence obligations. The work is for the Council’s fleet operations and is to be delivered in England. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This is a single service requirement rather than a works or goods purchase, and it was arranged as a call-off from the YPO Fleet Consultancy framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Reed Specialist Recruitment trading as Consultancy+. The awarded value is £90,000 in GBP. The contract runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2028. It followed an open procedure, with the tender closing for submissions on 1 August 2026 at 23:59. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract for business and management consultancy. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for delivering the fleet consultancy support to Leicestershire County Council.

This award demonstrates demand for specialist fleet consultancy focused on public-sector operator-licence compliance and the management of a council vehicle fleet. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in fleet governance, transport regulation, operator-licence compliance, risk control and the practical management of fleet operations. Experience advising a local authority or another regulated fleet operator would strengthen its position, particularly where it can show that advice is translated into compliant processes, reliable records and effective operational oversight. The procurement route also indicates that access to the relevant YPO Fleet Consultancy framework, or a comparable public-sector purchasing route, may be important. The stated suitability assessment indicates that the buyer was seeking established capacity rather than specifically targeting smaller or voluntary-sector suppliers.
