The contract was in the planning stage as of February 2021, the tender was active in November 2021, and the award was finalised in October 2024. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, allowing for electronic submissions, and has a significant total value, exceeding GBP 60 million. The contract applies to multiple geographical locations across Scotland, ensuring broad utility for the involved councils and associated members. This tender creates ample opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle and plant hire to expand their services within Scotland. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger firms in the industry, are encouraged to compete, given the wide-ranging requirements from cars to complex plant machinery. Successful bidders will benefit from substantial contract values, with specific awards reaching up to GBP 15 million for certain vehicle types.
