Summary of the contracting process

The recent award was part of a procurement process led by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for the lease of a wheelchair accessible vehicle. This highly specific procurement sought a motor vehicle suitable for the Mental Health Department to aid in transporting patients. The contract was concluded through a selective procurement procedure via the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework, namely Vehicle Lease, Fleet Management and Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes (RM6268). The location for delivery is designated within the UK region identified as UKL22. The procurement process has reached its award stage as of January 2026, with the contract now active since signed on 23rd January 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the automotive and fleet management sector, particularly those specialising in special-purpose vehicles such as wheelchair accessible options. Companies like "Car Hire (Day of Swansea) Limited," now supplants as the active supplier, highlighted the potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within such frameworks. Firms proficient in providing tailored transport solutions could leverage similar opportunities to expand their offerings to public sector health services, thereby driving business growth while meeting specific public sector requirements. The engagement in selective procedures also opens doors for higher competition on the grounds of price competitiveness within specialized vehicle leasing.
