## Summary

The procurement is currently in the planning stage for a project titled "Phoenix 3 Quoted Rental Framework: Transport Services", initiated by Defence Equipment and Support, a public authority under the central government of the United Kingdom. The procurement aims to establish a new Quoted Rental Framework to provide various transport services including coaches, freight vehicles, and taxis for UK operations. These services are crucial for the Authority's White Fleet. The procurement process is specifically targeted towards SMEs, offering substantial business opportunities across the UK. The anticipated implementation of the contract is set to commence on 26 February 2027, concluding on 26 February 2035, with a future notice date planned for 16 November 2026.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the transport and logistics industry, particularly those capable of offering competitive rental services for both self-drive and chauffeur-driven vehicles.
