Summary of the contracting process

York College is seeking one supplier to provide a fully managed electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme for eligible employees. The service is intended to give staff access to electric cars through a tax-efficient arrangement, support the College’s net-zero and sustainability commitments, and strengthen employee benefits, wellbeing, recruitment and retention. The supplier’s end-to-end service is to cover sourcing vehicles, supporting employees, administering payroll, providing risk protection, reporting and managing the contract. This is a services procurement covering passenger cars, vehicle fleet management and financial leasing. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The College also wants the arrangement to reduce its administrative burden and financial risk, and to comply with HMRC requirements and employment legislation.

The College invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The deadline for questions was 20 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline was 27 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2031, with an award decision due by 4 January 2027. The estimated value is £4,000,000 excluding VAT (£4,800,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation assigns 70% to technical quality and 30% to the schedule of prices. Electronic submission is allowed, and bids must be in English.

This requirement suits providers able to manage an employee electric-car salary sacrifice scheme from vehicle sourcing through payroll administration and ongoing contract management. Bidders will need to support employees using the scheme, provide risk protection and reporting, and operate an arrangement compliant with HMRC requirements and employment legislation. The buyer’s stated aims also make sustainability delivery, a straightforward employee experience and reliable administration relevant strengths. The buyer has identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The single-supplier model calls for a provider able to deliver the complete service across the United Kingdom, rather than a supplier offering only vehicles or one isolated administrative element.
