Summary of the contracting process

Slough Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "New Slough Car Club Network". This venture falls under the services industry category, specifically transport services, excluding waste transport. The procurement aims to invite experienced car club operators to provide efficient and cost-effective services for the region's residents and businesses. The geographical focus is on Slough, located in the UKJ11 region. Interested parties should note that the Council intends to publish further notices in preparation for upcoming tenders, with key communication anticipated by 31st July 2026. The contract period is expected to start on 3rd November 2026 and can extend until 2nd November 2034.

Those with experience in delivering high-quality transport solutions are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence within the UK public authority sector.
