## Summary

Herefordshire Council procured the hire of ten large passenger cars, each capable of carrying up to five passengers. The requirement was for vehicles supplied under a hire agreement, covering cars and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. The vehicles are intended for use in Herefordshire. This is a vehicle hire and fleet supply requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles, with the supplier providing access to the required cars for the agreed hire arrangement. The procurement sits within the Government Commercial Agency’s Vehicle Hire Solutions framework, under the passenger-car hire category. It was bought by Herefordshire Council, a local authority, for its public service operations in the Herefordshire area.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Herefordshire Council used a direct award from the RM6265 Vehicle Hire Solutions framework, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The requirement was evaluated on price. The awarded supplier is Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) Ltd. The contract value is £67,870.60, inclusive of the published contract amount, and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The requirement covered a 395-day hire arrangement for ten vehicles. The procurement was presented as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract remain active. One bid was recorded for the lot.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Herefordshire Council for a managed passenger-car hire service involving a small fleet of ten large vehicles and a hire term of roughly one year. Suppliers best placed for similar requirements would be vehicle leasing or hire companies able to provide multiple passenger cars, manage fleet availability and administration, and support public-sector contractual obligations. A credible competitor would need access to suitable vehicles accommodating up to five passengers, the operational capacity to supply them in Herefordshire, and pricing strong enough to compete where price is the stated evaluation basis. Experience of supplying local authorities and participation in the relevant vehicle-hire framework would also be commercially important, since this buyer used a framework direct-award route.
