## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) buys short- and long-term vehicle hire, covering cars and light commercial vehicles. The service supports the CMA’s operational needs, with delivery across the UK and a broad range of overseas countries and territories. The requirement is vehicle hire services rather than vehicle purchase, and spans both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The CMA is the buying organisation. The wide geographic coverage makes this relevant to rental providers able to arrange vehicle hire across multiple locations, including internationally.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK Limited on 17 September 2026. The award value is £29,950. The initial contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2027, with two optional 12-month extensions and a maximum expiry date of 26 July 2029. The process was a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solutions framework, using a selective procedure. The tender deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or specific evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award shows that the CMA uses a vehicle hire supplier for both short- and long-term access to cars and light commercial vehicles, with potential demand across the UK and overseas locations. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to arrange both vehicle types and deliver a broad geographic service. The contract was awarded through the Crown Commercial Service RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solutions framework, so framework access is central to competing by this route. The award also indicates a requirement of modest scale compared with large fleet procurements. A credible competitor would be able to support varied hire durations and provide coverage across the stated locations; the awarded supplier is a large rental company.
