                "description": "Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) and The Procurement Partnership Limited (TPPL) have worked together for over a decade. The partnership has provided a range of UK accessible frameworks covering a wide range of vehicle types, associated goods, and services. HCC is an upper-tier local authority for the non-metropolitan county of Hertfordshire. Hertfordshire is located in the south east of England and it's southernmost borders are just 12 miles from central London. Hertfordshire covers 634 square miles and has a population of over 1.2 million people and is home to a diverse range of communities. The Procurement Partnership Ltd (TPPL) are a private limited company offering a range of sustainable procurement solutions and services to the Public Sector. Through a collaborative approach, our members can obtain fully supported procurement solutions, with enhanced product specific technical expertise to aid in determining product and procurement specifications that conform with existing procurement legislation. Previously, TPPL has provided its members with access to fleet management services in the form of a category within a finance and lease dynamic purchasing system (DPS) created in conjunction with HCC. The DPS was launched in 2021, reference number: TPPLHCCFL01 and is due to expire in August 2026. Based on interest from members in this category over the life cycle of the DPS and confirmed through further member engagement activity, a standalone framework for fleet management services and supplies has been identified as necessary. This survey now seeks views from the supply-chain on issues that may impact on the final specification, lot structure, and the scope for delivering social value outcomes within the proposed framework. Completion of this survey is not an invitation for formal expression of interest. This questionnaire is issued for information only, to assess the appetite and capability of the market and thus make any potential process more focused and efficient. The information gathered will be used for the following: * To build capacity within the supply chain to bid for the proposed framework * To engage with partners on the overall general scope of the specification and requirements prior to issuing the tender documents. * To provide feedback in relation to the appetite of the market together with information that will allow the exercise to be shaped to elicit a positive response from suppliers. The benefits to your organisation in participating in this process include: * The chance to assess whether the opportunity will be suitable and of interest to you. * Ensuring that the specification is realistic and market focused. * The chance to raise any risks, concerns or issues regarding the potential opportunity. Your responses will assist us in creating a process which is well-framed, focused, feasible, and likely to be of interest to the market. There is no commercial advantage or disadvantage to your organisation as a result of being involved in this market engagement. This process focuses on the market rather than on the merits of individual suppliers. It involves no element of supplier selection or bid evaluation. The questionnaire is available for completion via an online form during the period 26th January 2026 to 9th February 2026 at 17:00. The questionnaire is accessible via this link: https://forms.office.com/e/qPFuW9CdJV Completed engagement questionnaires must be submitted no later than 5:00pm on the 9th February 2026 at 17:00.",

This Framework is intended for use by Contracting Authorities throughout the United Kingdom, including but not limited to: Local Authorities and Combined Authorities Registered Providers of Social Housing NHS Bodies and Health Trusts Educational Institutions (Schools, Colleges, Universities, Academies) Emergency Services (Police, Fire, Ambulance, Coastguard) Registered Charities Non-Departmental Public Bodies Central Government Departments and their Executive Agencies Other public sector bodies as defined in Section 2 of the Procurement Act 2023 The framework may also be accessed by other Centralised Procurement Authorities acting on behalf of the above entities. The Framework will be available to all current and future members of The Procurement Partnership Limited's (TPPL) buying club. A list of members of TPPL can be obtained from https://www.tppl.co.uk/membership/",
                "description": "This Framework Agreement will operate as a Closed Framework in accordance with Section 45 of the Procurement Act 2023. Suppliers appointed to the Framework will be eligible to deliver Fleet Management Services and Supplies to Contracting Authorities throughout the United Kingdom for the duration of the Framework. 1. Pricing Structure and Determination of Charges Pricing under this Framework is based on a modular Package structure, with each Lot containing defined service elements that Suppliers must price in accordance with the Pricing Schedule. Prices within the Pricing Schedule constitute the maximum rates that may be applied during the term of the Framework, unless a Contracting Authority conducts a Competitive Selection Process (CSP) and Suppliers choose to offer improved pricing. The Pricing Schedule will be subject to annual review. For each Lot, the Pricing Schedule sets out: -the mandatory and optional service elements -the unit of measure for each element (e.g., per asset per month, per hour, per job, percentage handling fee) -the rules governing what may and may not be charged -the maximum rates applicable to Call-Off Contracts Suppliers must not introduce any additional charges, surcharges, uplifts, administration fees, platform fees, subscription fees or other cost mechanisms beyond those expressly permitted within the Pricing Schedule. All third-party costs (e.g., parts, tyres, repairs, hire, specialist services) must be passed through at the Supplier's net cost, with only the defined handling or management fee applied where specified. Where a Contracting Authority selects a combination of Packages to form a comprehensive fleet management service, the total price will be determined by aggregating the relevant Package rates. Alternative commercial models may only be proposed where a Competitive Selection Process is conducted and the Contracting Authority explicitly requests such proposals. 2. Call-Off Procedures and Selection of Suppliers Contracting Authorities may award Call-Off Contracts using one of the following methods: a. Award Without Reopening Competition A Call-Off Contract may be awarded without reopening competition where: -the Contracting Authority can identify the Supplier offering the most economically advantageous solution based on the published Framework rates, or -the requirement is clearly aligned to a Supplier's specific capability or service offering, or -the Contracting Authority requires a straightforward selection based on the Framework pricing and service model This method does not constitute the \"Direct Award\" competitive procedure under Section 43 of the Act. It is a Framework-specific Call-Off mechanism permitted under Section 45. b. Competitive Selection Process (CSP) A CSP may be used where the Contracting Authority wishes to: -refine the requirement -seek improved pricing -assess delivery proposals or implementation plans -evaluate value-added services -run a competition between Framework Suppliers The CSP will be conducted in accordance with the procedures set out in the Framework Agreement. Suppliers may offer prices lower than their Framework maximum rates but may not exceed them. 3. Operation of Call-Off Contracts Call-Off Contracts will specify: -the selected Packages and service elements -the applicable Framework prices or CSP-determined prices -any optional services requested by the Contracting Authority -performance standards, KPIs and reporting requirements -implementation arrangements and service commencement dates Suppliers must deliver all services in accordance with the Framework terms, the Call-Off Contract, and the service specifications for the relevant Lot. 4. Framework Management and Performance Monitoring TPPL, acting as the Agent on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council, will manage the Framework, including: -supplier monitoring -issue resolution and escalation -management of CSPs and Call-Off processes -collection of Framework Fees -ensuring compliance with the Framework terms Suppliers must provide all required management information, reporting and audit evidence to support effective Framework oversight. 5. Transparency and Auditability All pricing, invoicing and cost pass-through must be transparent, auditable and compliant with the Framework rules. Contracting Authorities may request evidence of: -net-cost parts, tyres or third-party services -labour hours delivered -disposal outcomes -telematics data usage -accident management activity -training delivery and certification Suppliers must retain appropriate records for the duration of the Framework and any Call-Off Contract."

This includes activities associated with maintaining fleet availability, coordinating repairs and servicing, managing compliance obligations, supporting asset lifecycle planning, and providing data and reporting that help Contracting Authorities oversee their fleet operations. Suppliers appointed to this Lot must be capable of delivering a complete fleet management service across the modular packages listed in the Framework Specification. Capability in a single specialist area (such as telematics, accident management, parts supply or training) is not sufficient to qualify for participation in this Lot. Suppliers shall demonstrate the ability to deliver all mandatory elements of the packages they bid for, with subcontracting used only to supplement specialist elements rather than form the core of the service. Lot scope, services to include (and is not limited to) any combination of the following. Outsourcing of all or part of fleet management functions including: -Scheduled and ad-hoc maintenance and repair (SMR) -Inspections and statutory certifications -Reactive repairs and breakdown response -Supply and management of parts, consumables and tyres -Management of third-party workshops and specialist providers -Driver management, licensing and compliance -Telematics integration, data services and behaviour-based coaching -Driver training and competency development -Accident management including FNOL, repair routing, claims handling and downtime recovery -Grey fleet oversight -Rental coordination -Asset acquisition and lifecycle support, including obtaining quotations, lease rates or purchase options from OEMs, leasing companies or brokers, providing comparative analysis, and advising on optimal acquisition routes as part of lifecycle planning. The Lot is structured into Packages that reflect the different elements of fleet management. These may include scheduled maintenance coordination, unscheduled repair management, compliance and safety monitoring, accident management, asset lifecycle support, telematics related data services, and administrative or operational support functions. Contracting Authorities may select the Packages relevant to their needs when awarding Call Off Contracts. This Lot incorporates Accident Management following Member feedback indicating that demand did not warrant a standalone lot. Optional modules identified through Supplier Engagement (e.g., compliance auditing, operator licensing support, enhanced telematics/driver behaviour modules, EV-related support functions) may be added at Call-Off stage where required. Lot 1 services should remain sufficiently flexible to accommodate emerging market trends (e.g., EV transition, Euro 7, connected vehicle data, ADAS, predictive maintenance) without requiring prescriptive technical detail at Framework level. Call-Off Contracts may specify requirements that support SME participation and/or local delivery models where appropriate.",

This includes the auction or resale of vehicles and equipment, the valuation and inspection of assets, and the environmentally responsible scrappage and recycling of end-of-life vehicles and non-road machinery. For clarity, Lot 4 does not include routine roadside assistance or breakdown services. Recovery is in scope only where required to enable disposal or to manage abandoned vehicles. Suppliers appointed to this Lot will be expected to demonstrate robust processes for maximising asset value, ensuring legal compliance, and providing clear audit trails for all disposals. Services may include physical or online auction routes, managed disposal programmes, logistics support, and environmental compliance activities such as depollution and recycling. The Lot is structured into Packages that reflect the different components of the disposal process. These may include vehicle disposal, equipment disposal, auction services, logistics, valuation and inspection services, and environmental compliance. Suppliers may tender for any or all Packages within this Lot and must clearly set out the scope of their service offering. Contracting Authorities may incorporate additional environmental or regulatory requirements at Call-Off, including EV battery handling, updated depollution standards, and changes to hazardous waste or recycling regulations, to ensure that disposal arrangements remain compliant and future-proof.",

This includes digital platforms and tools designed to help Contracting Authorities oversee their fleet assets, maintain compliance, plan maintenance, manage operational workflows, and make informed decisions based on accurate and timely data. Solutions within this Lot may encompass a wide range of functional areas. These can include core fleet management platforms that provide centralised asset records, maintenance scheduling tools that support planned and reactive servicing, and compliance modules that assist with regulatory obligations such as MOT, inspections, licensing, and driver or vehicle safety requirements. The Lot also includes software that enables Contracting Authorities to integrate telematics or tracking data, monitor vehicle usage, and analyse operational performance through dashboards, reporting tools and analytics functions. In addition to operational functionality, the Lot may include software components that support administrative and strategic activities, such as cost tracking, lifecycle planning, fuel and emissions monitoring, and the management of contracts, suppliers or service events. Some solutions may incorporate workflow automation, document management, or integration capabilities that allow data to be exchanged with other organisational systems, including finance, HR, telematics, maintenance providers or third-party platforms. The Lot is structured into Packages that reflect the modular nature of fleet software solutions. These Packages may include core fleet management platforms, compliance and safety modules, maintenance and scheduling tools, telematics integration, reporting and analytics, and implementation or support services. Contracting Authorities may select the Packages relevant to their requirements at Call-Off stage, enabling them to procure a complete platform or specific components that complement existing systems. The scope should be considered flexible to accommodate emerging trends such as connected vehicle data expansion, predictive maintenance tools, and regulatory changes (e.g., Euro 7). Additional requirements such as EV infrastructure integration, advanced analytics, data-sharing APIs, or automated compliance auditing may be addressed within Call-Off Specifications.",
