## Summary

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council is currently in the award stage of the procurement process for a project titled "Car Club (for Community and Corporate use)." This initiative aims to appoint a single contractor to operate a community car club and a council grey fleet car club, which is a continuation of services previously delivered in the region. The contract is valued at £175,000 and is classified under road transport services. The contract period extends from 1st May 2021 to 30th April 2027, and it is located within the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period ended on 26th February 2021.

This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs and voluntary community sector entities to engage in a competitive bidding process, particularly those involved in transport services and fleet management. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions for managing community transport, especially in a post-COVID-19 context where agile working may reduce traditional travel needs, will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Companies that specialise in sustainable transport solutions or have experience in operating car-sharing schemes are encouraged to participate.

## Notice

BCP Council is seeking to appoint a single contractor to operate a community car club and council grey fleet car club. This will be a second-generation contract. One provider has operated separate car clubs in the towns of Bournemouth and Poole since 2013 and 2017 respectively. Bidders note that with respect to the council's corporate / business / grey fleet use of the contract there are unknown factors, not least of which staff will be returning post-Covid to a working situation that has undergone transformation. This includes, for most, a reduction in the need to be in the office due to agile working and a reduction in the need for face-to-face meetings which translates to less travel. On the flip side, those travelling to the office will be discouraged (through the corporate travel plan) from bringing their own vehicles and are more likely to need a pool car to attend a meeting or visit. Some staff need to be in the office more than others and some undertake roles that require them to be out and about frequently.
