## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is conducting a soft market testing exercise concerning a Green Car Scheme under the industry category of General Public Services. This planned procurement, currently in the planning stage, aims to explore sustainable travel options in the region of UKM83, specifically focusing on green car leasing services. Interested suppliers should note that this exercise is not a formal tendering process but an information-gathering initiative. Suppliers are invited to respond with relevant information by 27th August 2025.

This soft market testing presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in green vehicle leasing to showcase their capabilities and engage with Renfrewshire Council. While no formal contracts are being awarded at this stage, participating businesses can position themselves as potential future suppliers in an evolving market for sustainable transport solutions. Organisations that can offer innovative leasing solutions without initial financial outlay from the council, and who have experience in the green automotive sector, are particularly well-suited to contribute to this consultation process.
