Summary of the contracting process

Karbon Homes procured a comprehensive fleet management framework to provide vehicles and manage them efficiently, safely and cost-effectively. The requirement covers two service areas: flexible or long-term vehicle rental, and long-term vehicle leasing. The work is vehicle-fleet management and related vehicle provision, including fleet management services, repair and maintenance. The buyer is Karbon Homes, a housing organisation based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The awarded fleet management service covers delivery in the North East of England and Yorkshire and the Humber. The framework is intended to support Karbon Homes’ operational vehicle needs through managed rental and leasing arrangements rather than a one-off vehicle purchase.

The procurement has been completed and an award has been made for the long-term lease lot. Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited was selected on 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £10,723,200 gross (£8,936,000 excluding tax). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2030, with two 12-month extension options available to 31 July 2032. The procedure was an above-threshold open procedure using a closed framework agreement without reopening competition. Five valid bids were received for the lease lot. Evaluation was based on price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. The flexible or long-term rental lot, valued at £2,800,000, was recorded as complete without a named awarded supplier.

This award shows established demand from Karbon Homes for managed vehicle leasing across the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need to provide and manage vehicle fleets at organisational scale, with dependable arrangements for vehicle availability, fleet administration, repair and maintenance, and safe and cost-effective operation. Experience delivering long-term leasing or comparable fleet management services would be directly relevant. The competition attracted major fleet and vehicle-leasing businesses as well as an SME, indicating that credible providers may range from established national operators to smaller specialist firms. A strong future proposition would also need to address quality and measurable social value, alongside competitive commercial pricing.
