Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council is currently at the tender stage of a procurement process for the "Sustainable Car Club Scheme at All Saints View." The council is seeking a Car Club Operator to establish and manage a low-emission, hybrid vehicle car club service primarily for residents at All Saints View. This opportunity falls under the industry categories of motor vehicles, vehicle-fleet management services, and electric vehicles. The procurement is being conducted through an open procedure, with tenders to be submitted by 3rd November 2025, 12:00 noon. The contract is expected to commence on 1st February 2026, with an initial term of three years, plus optional extensions of one year each. The service location includes the postal code area SG17 5TQ and spans various regions, including the British Oversea Territories and the Channel Islands.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transportation and vehicle management sectors to expand their service offerings. The project is ideal for companies experienced in managing vehicle fleets, particularly those focusing on sustainable and low-emission options. Although the procurement process does not specifically prioritise small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), firms with the capacity to deliver innovative car club solutions could find this a valuable platform for growth and visibility in the environmentally-conscious vehicle services market. Emphasis on electronic submission and centralised communication via the In-tend system ensures a streamlined process for all potential bidders.
