Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Housing Group Limited procured a fully inclusive, end-to-end fleet management service for its vehicle fleet. The work covers coordinating service delivery, transferring responsibilities from the group’s in-house operation, and managing existing owned and contract-hire vehicles. The provider is expected to improve cost control and operational delivery, maintain compliance with legislation governing vehicle operation and duty of care, manage fleet-related risks, and optimise fleet efficiency. The service also supports the transition to zero-emission vehicles when requested, in line with government policy and targets. This is a fleet management and vehicle repair and maintenance service, classified under CPV 50000000. Delivery covers the West Midlands and the main procurement category is services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Walsall Housing Group awarded the contract to Adept Vehicle Solutions Limited trading as Adept Vehicle Management on 14 May 2026. The award value is £5,048,120.82, including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2032. It followed a selective procedure as a further competition and call-off under the CCS RM6268 framework, Lot 3 for vehicle leasing, fleet management and salary-sacrifice car schemes. The tender submission deadline was 25 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

This requirement indicates sustained demand from Walsall Housing Group for a supplier able to run an end-to-end fleet operation rather than provide isolated vehicle maintenance. Credible competitors would need demonstrable capability in managing mixed owned and contract-hire fleets, coordinating service delivery, controlling operating costs and maintaining reliable vehicle availability. They would also need robust systems for legislative compliance, duty of care, risk management and performance oversight, together with the capacity to manage transition from an in-house operation. Experience supporting fleet decarbonisation and the move towards zero-emission vehicles would be important where requested. The procurement also shows that this buyer uses a structured framework further-competition route, so future suppliers would need suitable framework access and the ability to compete through that route.
