Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council has completed a procurement process with the project titled "Salary Sacrifice," focusing on vehicle-fleet management services. This procurement falls under the services category and has been conducted in the Ashford area, England, with postal code TN23 1HU. The process used a selective procurement method through a call-off from a CCS framework and reached the award stage, with the award being announced on 10th September 2025. The contract, valued at £120,000, will run from 1st October 2025 to 1st October 2028.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for companies involved in vehicle-fleet management services to collaborate with Ashford Borough Council. As the procurement was open to SMEs, smaller businesses in the service industry with the capability to manage vehicle fleets are well-suited to benefit from such contracts in the future. While Octopus Energy Group Limited secured this particular contract, the use of a framework agreement indicates that similar opportunities could arise, providing growth potential for businesses capable of meeting the framework's criteria.
