This initiative is centred around vehicle-fleet management services intended to provide fully electric vehicles for its employees as well as the public to help reduce environmental impact. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure. The resulting contract, awarded to Co-wheels Car Club Community Interest Company, is set to commence on 3rd July 2026 and will run until 4th June 2028, with the vehicles being primarily stationed at Campus East Cherry Tree car park, Welwyn Garden City. This contract presents a robust opportunity for businesses involved in electric vehicle provisioning and vehicle-fleet management services, especially those that can offer innovative solutions for community car-sharing schemes. Electric car manufacturers and firms specialising in fleet management could significantly benefit from engaging with this scheme, as it supports the growing demand for sustainable transport solutions across the United Kingdom. By joining the initiative, such businesses can establish a foothold in the public sector market and contribute to the evolving landscape of eco-friendly transportation options. ## Notice Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (hereinafter referred to as the Council) is seeking to procure under the Crown Commercial Services Framework Agreement Code RM6265, titled: Vehicle Hire Solution (Lot 5 - Car Share Solution) an electric pool car scheme for its employees and members of the public, with the aim of reducing carbon footprint and mileage travelled in 'grey fleet' vehicles too. A number of Council employees are signed up to the existing scheme, with access to two vehicles. The scheme is also available to members of the public at designated times outside of the council's contracted hours as a 'car club' scheme. Members of the public will sign up for the scheme directly with the Service provider. The current contract ends 4 June 2026 and the Council is considering for the scheme to continue to operate under current provisions, as detailed in this document. The vehicles provided should be fully electric vehicles (EVs). The vehicles shall be fully allocated for staff use during working hours and for public use outside of these hours. Both vehicles are totally allocated to public use outside of working hours. However, employees may also join as public members so that they may use the cars out of contract hours as well but will do at preferential rates. The pricing includes supply of 2 vehicles to Campus East Cherry Tree car park on 5 June 2026. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b693f2e6-1b5f-4521-88cb-f9c6342cd598 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Jul 2026 | | Contract period | 2 Jul 2026 - 4 Jun 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WELWYN HATFIELD BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | HERTS | | Post town | St Albans | | Postcode | AL8 6AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH26 North and East Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Welwyn Hatfield | | Electoral ward | Handside | | Westminster constituency | Welwyn Hatfield | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CO-WHEELS CAR CLUB COMMUNITY INTEREST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50111100 - Vehicle-fleet management services ## Release History - 6 Jul 2026 at 13:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b693f2e6-1b5f-4521-88cb-f9c6342cd598 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b693f2e6-1b5f-4521-88cb-f9c6342cd598 6th July 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
