Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sussex has completed a procurement process for a ULEV Salary Sacrifice Scheme, tagged under the industry category of vehicle-fleet management services. This initiative primarily serves as a staff benefit, allowing eligible employees to lease electric vehicles through pre-tax salary deductions. The procurement, which is classified under 'services,' was carried out in the UK region of UKJ, with the contract being awarded on 27th July 2026. The procurement method employed was limited, utilised under the CCS Vehicle Lease, Fleet Management and Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes (RM6268) framework, allowing for a direct award without prior publication of a competition call. The contract, though initially set for two years, includes an option for a two-year extension, although the procurement lot has since been marked as cancelled.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the electric vehicle sector, particularly those specialising in fleet management or salary sacrifice schemes. Large-scale companies, like Tuskerdirect Limited, which emerged as the supplier, may particularly benefit from such opportunities due to the scale and nature of the contract requirements. The contract’s dual focus on sustainability and employee benefits aligns with current green policies, presenting a growth opportunity for businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in the eco-friendly vehicle sector.
