Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority procured a vehicle salary sacrifice scheme for eligible staff. The service enables employees to lease brand-new cars by giving up part of their pre-tax gross salary. Each lease is intended to be provided without a deposit or credit check and with insurance, servicing and breakdown cover included in a fixed monthly payment. The procurement is for motor vehicles and associated fleet-scheme services, with the activity connected to South Yorkshire Police staff. The contracting authority is based in Sheffield, and the requirement is associated with the South Yorkshire public-sector workforce. The arrangement is a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefits framework, covering car leasing. This is therefore relevant to vehicle leasing providers, fleet operators and organisations able to administer employee salary-sacrifice car schemes with the required bundled support services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, as a call-off from the ESPO Staff Benefits framework, Lot 6 – Car Leasing. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was awarded the contract and is the active supplier. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026, with a value of £3,744,000 including the stated six-year estimate. The opportunity was evaluated on price alone. The arrangement includes an option for two extensions of 12 months each. The published requirement used assumptions of an average annual vehicle invoice value of about £8,000 and staff participation of about 1.5% after the first year. No separate contract end date is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This award demonstrates demand from a public-sector employer for a managed employee car-leasing scheme rather than a simple vehicle purchase. A credible future competitor would need to supply brand-new vehicles and coordinate the full package of insurance, servicing and breakdown cover within a fixed monthly salary-sacrifice payment. The requirement also calls for an operating model that works without deposits or credit checks and can support eligible staff through payroll-linked pre-tax deductions. Suppliers with established fleet procurement, vehicle leasing, employee-benefits administration and customer-support capability would be well placed. The buyer used a framework call-off route and assessed bids on price alone, so relevant providers should be able to operate through an established public-sector framework and present a competitive, clearly structured cost for the complete service.
