This falls under the services category with the CPV code 50111100 for vehicle-fleet management services. The procurement method used was a limited procedure with an award made without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement was initiated by FLS and conducted due to the liquidation of the incumbent supplier, resulting in the need for a swift system implementation.

This contract presents business growth opportunities for suppliers in the vehicle fleet management services industry, particularly those specialising in VME Fleet Management Systems. Businesses experienced in collaborative frameworks and direct awards may find this opportunity relevant. The award criteria included aspects of quality and price, with the contract outcome being awarded to Softcat Plc. FLS approached 3 pre-qualified suppliers, and Civica's TranSend Fleet Management System was selected as the most economically advantageous tender. The buying organisation, FLS, is based in Inverness, United Kingdom, and can be contacted through +44 3000676000 or procurement@forestryandland.gov.scot for further information.
