Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by West Mercia Police involves the awarding of a contract titled "Self Drive Vehicle Hire" within the services industry category. This process is classified under the CPV code for the hire of passenger cars with drivers and takes place in Worcester, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is a limited tender process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, which has a value of £200,000, was signed on 1st July 2021, with the initial term set for 12 months, potentially extending for another 12 months based on ongoing assessments of value for money in light of the evolving transport strategy post-Covid.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the vehicle hire sector, particularly for those specialising in self-drive rentals without drivers. Companies that can provide long and short-term vehicle hire solutions, including vans and passenger transport, would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The direct agreement awarded to Arnold Clark Car & Van Rental highlights the potential for businesses to secure contracts based on competitive pricing and value-driven analysis, especially as the market stabilises following the pandemic.

Notice Title

Self Drive Vehicle Hire

Notice Description

Provision of long and short term hired vehicles and associated services.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of long and short term hired vehicles and associated services. Additional information: Please note that this is an award notice and the contract has been awarded to the Economic Operator detailed at V.2.3.

Procurement Information

The Authority has elected to enter into a direct agreement with the named Economic Operator following an evaluation of rates for similar services under a compliant framework agreement. This analysis found that the Authority could achieve better value for money for the public(saving between 45000GBP and 213000GBP per annum) by entering into a direct agreement rather than pursuing the framework option. A short-term contract has therefore been agreed for an initial 12 months with option for a further 12 months subject to an ongoing value for money assessment. This review will also factor in the ongoing development of our transport strategy, as well as allow the market to stabilise post-Covid and see where vehicle hire rates are heading in the medium to long term.
