UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation established a UK-wide public sector framework for vehicle hire, vehicle leasing, vehicle purchase, and vehicle servicing and repair, supported by online portal functionality. The portal is intended to let public authorities view available vehicle and service options, match them to their requirements, and place orders with the relevant provider. Requirements may include standard or customised vehicle specifications, such as fixed racking. The framework serves public sector contracting authorities, with customers contracting directly with the appointed provider for their selected requirement. The buying organisation is Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation, based in Wakefield. The work and supply are delivered across the United Kingdom. The procurement is primarily for services, alongside transport equipment, software and information systems, vehicle maintenance and transport services.

This procurement has reached award stage following an open procedure and competitive tender. One supplier, GMP Drivercare Limited, was selected for Lot 1 Vehicle Hire Portal, Lot 2 Vehicle Lease Portal and Lot 3 Vehicle Purchase Portal. Each awarded lot has a value of £83,333,333 excluding VAT and £100,000,000 including VAT. The awards were dated 18 August 2026, with the standstill period ending 28 August 2026 and a scheduled signature date of 1 September 2026. The awarded contract for Lots 1 and 2 runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2030; Lot 3 runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 August 2030. Evaluation weighted cost at 20%, quality, delivery and customer service at 60%, and social value and sustainability at 20%.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers able to provide a scalable vehicle marketplace or portal covering hire, leasing and vehicle purchase, with access to suitable vehicle supply chains and reliable fulfilment across the UK. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate transparent, responsive pricing, customer experience and effective system delivery, including the ability to present live or regularly changing pricing and match customer specifications to available options. The evaluation also shows that cyber security, GDPR compliance, business continuity, enquiry and complaint handling, environmental sustainability, and equality and diversity are material capabilities. The framework was marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and the recorded competition included SME bidders. A supplier preparing for a future requirement with Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation would need evidence of public-sector customer support, robust portal operations and dependable vehicle supply and service delivery.
