## Summary

Nottinghamshire Police procured vehicle hire services, principally passenger cars, for its operational requirements. The buying organisation is Nottinghamshire Police, based at Sherwood Lodge in Nottingham, and the vehicles are to be delivered or used in the Nottingham area. This is a services contract covering the provision of hired vehicles rather than vehicle purchase, maintenance or fleet construction. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although it is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement is focused on passenger-car hire and would therefore be relevant to vehicle rental companies, fleet operators and other providers able to supply cars to a police organisation in Nottinghamshire.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Nottinghamshire Police used a selective call-off from the RM6265 framework, Lot 1, rather than running an open standalone competition. Bids were due by 3 April 2026 at 5pm. Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Ltd was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026 for an estimated £133,665.45 excluding VAT, with the value dependent on demand. The three-year contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The award was assessed through the framework call-off process. The selected supplier is Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Ltd, and this is the only award recorded for the requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand from Nottinghamshire Police for passenger-car hire delivered through a compliant public-sector framework. A future competitor would need a dependable rental fleet, the operational capacity to provide vehicles when required, and service arrangements suitable for a policing organisation. Fleet availability, vehicle condition, booking and replacement processes, and the ability to manage demand across the contract area would be important evidence of capability. The opportunity is also relevant to smaller vehicle-hire businesses because the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, although access to the relevant framework route and experience of public-sector contract compliance would strengthen a supplier’s position. Providers should be able to show consistent, scalable hire services rather than one-off vehicle supply.
