## Summary

The contracting process involves The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), which is undertaking a tender for a Framework Agreement for the leasing of commercial vehicles in the UK. The title of the tender is "Commercial Lease Vehicles," classified under the motor vehicles for the transport of goods category. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having been signed on 23rd May 2022. The framework consists of two lots: light commercial vehicles (up to 3.5 tonnes) and heavy commercial vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes), which will encompass servicing, maintenance, and other associated services. The procurement method was a limited procedure without prior publication due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with an extension planned up until September 2023.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle leasing and maintenance services, particularly those catering to the healthcare sector, such as suppliers of light and heavy commercial vehicles. Companies able to offer customised solutions and comprehensive support services during the lease term would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Additionally, large suppliers currently active in this market, such as Arnold Clark Vehicle Management and Fraikin Ltd, may face competition from emerging local firms aiming to fulfil the needs of NHS Scotland Health Boards while navigating market changes and demands resulting from recent disruptions.

### Procurement Information

This VEAT notice is to advise the need for modification to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic (and recovery of services) to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The priorities for NSS, NHS Scotland and likely those suppliers who would wish to be part of a tender process (due to severe market conditions) have changed, as a result it is a necessary step to delay start of new tender process necessitating a 12 month extension to current framework revising expiry to September 2023. The global market for vehicles is currently suffering severe disruption to an extent that it is understood from supplier and market feedback that a tender process could not be completed at this time. Tender process is planned to commence by spring 2023.
