## Summary

The Home Office procured the temporary hire of welfare vans, a vehicle hire requirement supplying vans configured for welfare use. The procurement is classified as goods and covers one lot. The supplier is Enable Hire, based in London. The recorded contract title describes the requirement as “Welfare Vans: Temporary Hire”; the tender title is “Welfare Vans”. This is a Home Office purchase rather than a broader transport or fleet service, and the stated scope is limited to welfare vehicles and vans. The procurement description says the contract is to deliver welfare vans for the Home Office. No specific delivery location is stated, so the data does not establish where the vans are to be deployed.

The contract has been awarded and is active. The Home Office used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. Enable Hire was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 1 April 2027. Its value is £13,318 excluding VAT and £16,640 including VAT. The award record does not give a separate award date or a stated evaluation basis. The recorded procurement status is complete, while the contract itself remains active. The process is therefore concluded, with the supplier selected and the contract period set out above.

This award is evidence of a modest, short-term Home Office requirement for hired welfare vans. A credible competitor when this specific requirement next reaches the market would need to provide vans suitable for welfare use and manage temporary hire and delivery for a central government customer. The award went to a large supplier, but the published requirement does not set out particular fleet numbers, technical fit-out, vehicle specifications, accreditations or qualification criteria; the data therefore supports no more specific claim about what a future supplier must hold. Vehicle hire businesses with access to appropriate welfare vans and the operational capacity to provide them would be closest to the requirement. The route used was a direct award without competition, so this purchase does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation model or published scoring priorities.
