## Summary

The Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP), in collaboration with Dorset Council, is currently managing a procurement process titled "Short Duration Vehicle Hire (SDVH)" for transport services, specifically aimed at establishing a Framework Agreement for self-drive vehicle hire. This initiative is crucial for supporting the operational needs of the Participating Authorities, which require supplementary vehicle resources to maintain a range of community services. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender closing on 27 August 2021 at 14:00. The contract is valued at approximately £3,500,000 and is set to begin on 1 November 2021, lasting for three years with an option to extend for an additional year.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle hire and fleet management services to engage with local authorities. Companies capable of providing short to medium-term self-drive vehicle solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that can offer high-quality service and competitive pricing may benefit from the outlined award criteria, where quality holds a 60% weight and price 40%. This procurement process not only supports local community services but also allows businesses to establish long-term partnerships with public sector organisations in the Dorset area.
