Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Children’s Trust is hiring vehicles to support its operational requirements, through a call-off from the RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solutions framework. The requirement covers access to operational fleet vehicles and vehicle hire services. Delivery is in Northampton and Wellingborough, in Northamptonshire. The procurement is for vehicle hire rather than vehicle purchase, and is relevant to fleet rental businesses able to provide vehicles for the Trust’s operational use.

The process is complete and the contract was awarded to Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited. It was placed as a limited call-off under the RM6265 framework, without a separate competition; one bid was recorded. The award date is not stated. The contract was signed on 26 October 2026 and is active. Its stated value is £60,000. An amendment says the corrected value is £140,000 excluding VAT over the maximum term; the initial term is 12 months, with an option to extend by a further 12 months. The lot is marked cancelled, despite the active award and contract. Price was the stated evaluation criterion.

For a future requirement from Northamptonshire Children’s Trust, a credible supplier would need to provide access to operational fleet vehicles and deliver vehicle hire across the Trust’s Northamptonshire operating area. The award indicates that the buyer used its RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solutions framework and assessed the call-off on price, so framework participation and competitive pricing would be relevant credentials. The requirement was handled as a single lot and attracted one bid, suggesting a focused call-off rather than a multi-lot exercise. Suppliers should be able to support the Trust’s operational fleet needs at the scale of a one-year hire arrangement, with capacity to continue for a possible additional year. The incumbent award provides evidence of demand for fleet hire by this buyer.
