Summary of the contracting process

The Watford Community Housing Flexible Fleet Framework is a public procurement process initiated by Echelon Consultancy Ltd, aiming to establish a four-year framework for the provision of vehicles and associated flexible fleet services across the UK. This open procedure, now in the award stage, involves a total estimated value of £100 million, with a minimum threshold of £50 million. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2021 and will extend until 31st March 2025. The deadline for tender submissions was 11th February 2021, and the framework is accessible to all UK public sector bodies through a Joining Agreement.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for large-scale vehicle and fleet service providers, particularly those specialising in flexible vehicle hire solutions, fleet management, and ancillary services like telematics and accident management. Businesses equipped to handle comprehensive fleet operations, including maintenance and breakdown services, would be well-suited to participate in this tender. The necessity for organisations with the capability to adapt to changing legislative and operational contexts underlines the competitive advantage for suppliers that can offer innovative and cost-effective solutions in the transportation sector.

Notice Title

Watford Community Housing Flexible Fleet Framework

Notice Description

Watford Community Housing ("WCH") sought Tenders from suitably skilled and experienced suppliers for the provision of vehicles and associated flexible fleet services under this four-year, single supplier framework. This framework seeks to offer the benefits of a flexible vehicle hire solution that can react to legislative and other operating context changes, incorporating the flexibility of a rental model whilst competing with the total cost of ownership of a fixed-term contract hire/lease arrangement. The framework will provide additional services to support the fleet operation including but not limited to the provision of fleet and accident management services and additional relevant services, for example fuel cards. The framework is to operate across the UK and will be open to all UK public sector bodies to access via a Joining Agreement between WCH, the Supplier and Pretium Frameworks Ltd, who WCH has appointed to administer the framework on its behalf.
