Lot Information

Lot 1

This procurement event relates to Network Rail's requirement for the provision of Road Fleet Management Services to oversee the management of ~11,500 vehicles which support the delivery of operational services. Services shall include (but not be limited to); a) Fleet management services, management and maintenance of Network Rail owned and Supplier leased vehicles. b) Lease of new vehicles Ordered by Network Rail including vehicle service, maintenance and repair (SMR) and other associated services to owned and Supplier leased vehicles. SMR will be included on a fixed cost basis for lease vehicles and on a pay on use basis for Network Rail owned vehicles during the Core Term . c) Short term hire vehicles and fleet utilisation services. d) Provision of an Online System scoping all vehicles on fleet including from legacy suppliers. Detail on the strategic objectives of the agreement are included within paragraph 2.1.7 of the specification, addressing; - Fleet Utilisation - Control of Costs - Transition of fleet to zero emission Existing leasing arrangements will continue to be financed and managed (inclusive of full SMR and tyre provision) by the legacy fleet management company until the leases expire (up to 6 years from lease commencement). The incoming supplier, successful through this procurement, will inherit Network Rail's owned fleet of vehicles to manage immediately, and subsequent vehicle orders will increase the supplier's fleet size during the term of the framework, which will increase year on year as vehicles expire from legacy supplier agreements. Full details of the requirements are contained in the published procurement documentation. Additional information: The maximum value of the framework is PS1.02bn, (inc. ongoing lease costs after agreement expiry) but the overall value will be in a range of between PS650m and PS1.02bn. This will depend on: - Available funding through the contract duration. - Network Rail's adoption of zero-emission vehicles during the term. - Network Rail's intention to reduce it's leased fleet and short term hires over the term.
