Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council has completed the procurement process for lease financing of vehicle assets valued at £1.35m. The process involved an open procedure, highlighting the Council’s methodical approach to sourcing suppliers. Located in Wrexham, United Kingdom, the procurement fell under the 'services' industry category, specifically financial leasing services. The award notice was published on 12 March 2026, with Siemens Financial Services Ltd identified as the pending supplier. The contract will commence on 27 March 2026 and run until 26 March 2031. The tender planning involved consultancy support to adhere to Welsh devolved regulations, ensuring a smooth sale and leaseback operation with key deadlines in March 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in financial leasing services, to explore new market avenues within the public sector. Companies with expertise in lease financing could leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio and establish stronger ties with governmental entities. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure with evaluation criteria heavily weighted on price, attracting bids from three entities although none from SMEs or VCSEs reached the final stage. Suppliers with large-scale operations in leasing arrangements or expertise in vehicle asset management stand to benefit substantially, as this project aligns with public authority requirements under regional guidance.
