Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority procured vehicle hire services for public-sector operations. The requirement covered the hire of vehicles across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is based in Sheffield. The procurement is classified as transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). It was structured as a single requirement under the CCS RM6265 framework, intended to provide vehicle hire rather than vehicle purchase, fleet construction or transport infrastructure. The scale and geographic spread indicate a requirement that can support vehicle supply and hire arrangements across multiple English regions.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority made a direct award to Enterprise Rent A Car under the CCS RM6265 framework, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated reason was that the award fell outside the relevant directive’s scope. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is active. Price was the award criterion. One bid was recorded; the reported valid bid values ranged from £1 to £600,000. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The process used one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the related award and contract remain active.

This procurement shows demand from a combined authority for vehicle hire with coverage extending across England, and demonstrates that the buyer used a central government framework and a direct-award route rather than an open competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a broad, readily deployable hire fleet, the operational capacity to serve customers across multiple English regions, and the systems to manage bookings, vehicle availability, collection and replacement arrangements at public-sector scale. Framework access or an equivalent compliant route would be important, as would a clear ability to offer competitive pricing. Suppliers should also be prepared to evidence reliable national coverage and consistent service delivery for public bodies.
