## Summary

Renfrewshire Council, a regional authority in Paisley, UK, has initiated a soft market testing for a "Green Car Scheme" targeting the benefit services industry category. This initiative is currently in the planning stage as part of the council's exploration of sustainable travel solutions. The objective is to gather market information about suppliers capable of providing green car leasing services, specifically without requiring an initial monthly outlay by the council. Key dates include the submission deadline of 27th August 2025 for interested parties to respond, and an anticipated future notice date of 4th August 2026. The project is taking place in the Renfrewshire region, identified as UKM83.

This soft market testing exercise offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in green vehicle leasing and associated services. Suppliers with expertise in sustainable travel solutions and innovative financing options stand to benefit, particularly those who can offer cost-effective leasing models that align with Renfrewshire Council's sustainability goals. Businesses with a strong focus on environmentally-friendly technology and a proven track record with public sector clients could find this an advantageous opportunity to establish or expand their presence in the public procurement arena.
