Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency is procuring a vehicle hire framework covering short-, medium- and long-term hire of motor vehicles, including blue-light and healthcare vehicles. It also covers car-share solutions and potentially international vehicle hire. The three lots span passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, minibuses, 4x4s, modified vehicles, commercial and specialist vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes, and heavy goods and specialist vehicles from 7.5 tonnes upwards. Services are required across the United Kingdom and the Crown Dependencies, including Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey, as well as British Overseas Territories including Anguilla, Bermuda, Gibraltar, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Saint Helena and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The framework may be used by contracting authorities listed in its customer list.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English via the Crown Commercial Service e-sourcing platform. Enquiries closed on 14 September 2026 at 15:00, and tender submissions are due by 2 October 2026 at 15:00. The contract period is 18 February 2027 to 17 February 2031, with award scheduled by 8 February 2027. The estimated gross value is £960,000,000, including £800,000,000 net of VAT. Lot 1 is valued at £835,200,000 gross, Lot 2 at £76,800,000, and Lot 3 at £48,000,000. Each lot is evaluated 70% on quality and 30% on price. A successful bidder pays a fee of 1% of its award value.

Lot 1 requires at least one of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles up to 4.25 tonnes, minibuses, 4x4s or non-standard and modified vehicles, together with vehicle hire or car-share services.
