Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sussex procured an ultra-low-emission vehicle salary sacrifice scheme for its staff. The service enables eligible employees earning above a specified threshold to make pre-tax deductions from monthly salary in exchange for leasing an electric vehicle. This is a vehicle-fleet management service, covering the University’s staff benefit requirement in the Brighton and Sussex area. The supplier would need to manage vehicle leasing and the associated salary sacrifice arrangement rather than simply supply vehicles. The requirement was structured as a single service covering the scheme as a whole, with the University of Sussex as the public-sector buyer and employer using the arrangement.

The procurement is complete and an award was made to Tuskerdirect Limited. The award is recorded as active, although the associated lot is recorded as cancelled. The University used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, making a direct award through the CCS Vehicle Lease, Fleet Management and Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes framework (RM6268). The award was dated 27 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. Its value is £720,000. The contract was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The procurement was carried out under the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement indicates demand from a university employer for an end-to-end electric-vehicle salary sacrifice service, rather than a conventional fleet purchase. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need established capability in electric-vehicle leasing, fleet management and employee salary sacrifice administration. They would also need to support pre-tax payroll deductions, manage eligible employee access and provide a suitable range of leased electric vehicles. Experience of delivering staff vehicle-benefit schemes for public-sector organisations would strengthen credibility. Access to, or an equivalent capability to operate through, an appropriate vehicle-leasing and fleet-management framework would also be important, given the route used here.
