UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The Crown Estate for "Vehicle Leasing Services" recently experienced a cancellation. This halted process was under the procurement stage known as "tender" and was initially announced on 21st May 2026, with an intended expression of interest deadline of 15th June 2026. It involved the provision of 42 vehicles for operations at Windsor Great Park on a 48-month contract hire basis, with up to two optional one-year extensions. The procurement method was a selective, competitive flexible procedure. The process was expected to conclude by 14th August 2026, but due to a review in response to a query via the Public Procurement Review Service, the decision was made to cancel the tender as of 5th August 2026. The procurement was categorized under public authority central government and located in London, United Kingdom, within the services industry category.

This tender presented significant business opportunities, especially for those specialising in vehicle leasing and fleet management. The requirement included a comprehensive contract for the leasing of vehicles, which could have benefited businesses that have the capability to meet the logistical and contractual demands of such an arrangement. Although now cancelled, the process offered a platform for suppliers to engage in a competitive environment through a PSQ stage followed by an ITT stage, presenting opportunities for small and medium enterprises. Furthermore, the potential to extend the contract suggests that businesses with a long-term strategic outlook would have had the chance to establish a continued relationship with The Crown Estate.
