UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales procured short-term vehicle hire services for its operational needs. The requirement covers the provision of vehicles for short-term hire, falling within the broader transport services category (CPV 60000000). The buyer is Natural Resources Wales, a Welsh public authority based in Cardiff. Delivery and service activity are associated with Natural Resources Wales’s operations in Wales, with the supplier located in Gorseinon, Swansea. This opportunity is relevant to vehicle rental businesses, fleet operators and transport service providers able to supply vehicles on a short-term basis and support the operational requirements of a public-sector organisation. The procurement concerns services rather than vehicle purchase, construction, fleet manufacture or general passenger transport operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Natural Resources Wales used a selective procedure to make a competitive award under a framework. One lot was awarded to Car Hire (Day of Swansea). The award date was 24 June 2026. Its value is £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. A future signature date of 7 September 2026 was scheduled. The award is above the applicable threshold. The published procurement information identifies short-term vehicle hire and transport services as the subject of the award. The award was made through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender, and the successful supplier is a large organisation.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand from Natural Resources Wales for short-term vehicle hire delivered through a competitive framework route. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need a credible vehicle rental operation, access to a suitable fleet and the ability to provide vehicles for short-term operational use. Relevant suppliers include established car hire companies, fleet operators and transport service providers with the systems and capacity to manage public-sector requirements. A competitor would also need to understand framework call-off processes and be able to compete for a requirement above the applicable threshold. The awarded supplier’s large-organisation status indicates that scale, fleet availability and operational resilience may be important when this requirement returns to the market.
