Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Vehicle Hire" contract was conducted by Norfolk County Council, focusing on motor vehicles within the industry category. This contract falls under the services procurement category and addresses the need for hiring various vehicle types, including LCVs, 4x4s, and HGVs, with the addition of a car share scheme specifically serving the East of England region in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the contract having been awarded on 5th June 2025 and the contract period set from 6th June 2025 to 2nd June 2029, including an option for a 12-month extension. The procurement utilised a selective method, calling off from the CCS Vehicle Hire Solutions Framework, and was completed with an allocated budget of £1,040,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale vehicle hire companies interested in expanding their clientele and operational reach within the public sector. Suitable businesses include those capable of providing a wide range of vehicles under fleet management services and those offering innovative car share solutions, especially in regional areas. Though the Council has already identified Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited as the awarded supplier, similar companies can aim to position themselves for future opportunities by offering competitive rates and aligning closely with framework specifications.
