Summary of the contracting process

Abri is seeking one accredited car club operator to provide and manage a fully serviced car club across its operating area. The service covers supplying publicly accessible vehicles at developments and other locations, customer membership and booking facilities, day-to-day operation and vehicle maintenance, planning support, performance monitoring and reporting, account management, and promotion to grow membership and vehicle use. The operator will work with Abri and relevant local authorities. The aim is to support planning obligations, encourage sustainable travel and provide a consistent car club service across Abri’s area. The requirement combines vehicle provision with the technology, operational delivery and customer-facing services needed to run a car club end to end.

Abri invited offers through a single-stage competitive flexible procedure under an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 17 November 2026 at 14:00; the stated deadline for enquiries is not recorded here. The estimated award decision date is 19 January 2027. The initial contract period runs from 5 February 2027 to 4 February 2030, with extensions possible for up to 84 months, giving a potential maximum term of 10 years ending 4 February 2037. The estimated contract value is £1.2 million excluding VAT (£1.44 million including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 55% to the quality questionnaire and 45% to price. Bids may be submitted electronically through Abri’s tendering portal, in English.

This opportunity is suited to an established car club operator able to deliver a reliable, user-focused service across multiple developments and locations. The buyer expressly requires the successful operator to hold Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMo) accreditation and to be capable of providing the service end to end. Relevant strengths include arranging and managing a publicly accessible vehicle fleet; operating membership and booking facilities; maintaining vehicles; supporting planning requirements; and monitoring, reporting and managing performance. Suppliers will also need dedicated account management and the ability to work collaboratively with Abri and local authorities. Experience promoting car club services to grow membership and maximise vehicle utilisation will be relevant, alongside the operational capacity to provide a scalable and consistent service over a potentially lengthy contract.
