## Summary

Essex County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of an Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme under the title "CO0335 Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme." This procurement process falls within the industry category of electric vehicles and is specifically targeted at the public sector employees within Essex County Council, located in England, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Knowles Associates Total Fleet Management LTD and is valued at approximately £3,000,000. The procurement process followed an open procedure and the tender stage has been completed. Key dates include the tender period's closure on 23 August 2024 and the contract duration from 1 October 2024 to 31 October 2027.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in electric vehicle leasing and fleet management to grow by extending their services to a large public sector workforce. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as indicated by the procurement suitability criteria. The awarded contract entails providing flexible and scalable electric vehicle leasing options to approximately 7,800 eligible ECC employees. Companies able to adapt to the changing structures and numbers of the Council's workforce will find this a lucrative opportunity.

## Notice

ECC has made a commitment to develop an employee benefits scheme for its employees and also has a long-term vision to move towards a 'Total Reward' system to potentially include total reward statements. Essex County Council wishes to continue to offer its staff salary sacrifice arrangements that offer 'real' benefits that reflect typical consumer spending and provides significant savings for scheme members. We are seeking a provider to extend our benefits offering to include the provision of Electric Vehicle Leasing Salary Sacrifice. The Electric Vehicle Leasing Salary Sacrifice Scheme will be available to eligible core ECC employees (circa 7,800 employees). The scheme will need to be flexible to allow for fluctuations in workforce numbers as ECC reviews structure and operating models.
