Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured a fleet management software system and associated software-related services for its vehicle fleet. The requirement covers fleet management functionality, workshop functionality, implementation and data migration, system maintenance, integrations, reporting and user training. It also includes systems and technical consultancy, software development and ongoing support. The system is intended to support the Council’s fleet operations, with options for a data lake to provide more refined reporting, additional API integrations and additional licences if fleet numbers increase. The work is delivered in Nottingham, within the East Midlands. This is a services contract for a public-sector fleet operator and is relevant to software providers, fleet technology companies, systems integrators and implementation partners with suitable public-sector delivery capability.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to JAAMA LTD on 20 July 2026; the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract value is £320,000 excluding VAT (£384,000 including VAT), with an initial period from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2029 and extensions available to 16 August 2032. Nottingham City Council used a competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, involving selection, demonstrations or dialogue, negotiation where required, final tenders and best-and-final offers. Ten bids were received and seven reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted price at 31.25%, quality at 62.50% and social value at 6.25%. Quality covered functionality, workshop capability, implementation and migration, maintenance, integrations, reporting, training and social value.

This award demonstrates established demand from Nottingham City Council for an integrated fleet management platform rather than a standalone software licence. A credible future competitor would need to show strong system and workshop functionality, reliable data migration and implementation, maintainable software, practical API and systems integration, and clear operational reporting. Providers should also be able to deliver effective user training and demonstrate the capacity to support a public-sector fleet throughout a multi-year service relationship. The evaluation places substantially more emphasis on quality than price, so suppliers will need evidence of functional performance, service delivery and technical capability, alongside a clear social value offer. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, and the winning supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist fleet software businesses can compete with larger integrators.
