Hire requests are received from service areas across the Authority and are required for various reasons including owned fleet off the road due to long terms repairs, in order to provide resilience in the fleet due to reliability issues (such as minibuses) and increased demand from service areas. The Authority require a contract with suppliers who are able to supply the whole range of vehicles within the lot tendered for that are used by the Authority. The estimated value given for each lot is simply the total contract value divided into 12 equal lots. If you require a more accurate estimate then please submit a clarification query via the tender portal. In order to provide more opportunities for SME suppliers, rather than a single supplier, the Authority has created different lots categorised by vehicle type. These hires can be either short term e.g. weeks or for a longer period e.g. months. A potential contract risk would be that Local Government Reform or a change in the Council's vehicle hire and purchasing strategy may result in changes to requirements. This could result in an increase or a decrease in requirements. As a result of Local Government Reform the contract may require novation to any new local authority organisation once created.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Motor vehicles (34100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 34 | 1,511 | 2 median · 13.8 average (372 of 1,511 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (413 of 1,511 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 2 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 156 | 29.5 median · 29.5 average (2 of 156 with a bid count) | 5 average (2 of 156 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.

"description": "Hire requests are received from service areas across the Authority and are required for various reasons including owned fleet off the road due to long terms repairs, in order to provide resilience in the fleet due to reliability issues (such as minibuses) and increased demand from service areas. The Authority require a contract with suppliers who are able to supply the whole range of vehicles within the lot tendered for that are used by the Authority.\nThe estimated value given for each lot is simply the total contract value divided into 12 equal lots. If you require a more accurate estimate then please submit a clarification query via the tender portal.\nIn order to provide more opportunities for SME suppliers, rather than a single supplier, the Authority has created different lots categorised by vehicle type. These hires can be either short term e.g. weeks or for a longer period e.g. months.\nA potential contract risk would be that Local Government Reform or a change in the Council's vehicle hire and purchasing strategy may result in changes to requirements. This could result in an increase or a decrease in requirements. As a result of Local Government Reform the contract may require novation to any new local authority organisation once created.",

"description": "Hire requests are received from service areas across the Authority and are required for various reasons including owned fleet off the road due to long terms repairs, in order to provide resilience in the fleet due to reliability issues (such as minibuses) and increased demand from service areas. The Authority require a contract with suppliers who are able to supply the whole range of vehicles within the lot tendered for that are used by the Authority.\nThe estimated value given for each lot is simply the total contract value divided into 12 equal lots. If you require a more accurate estimate then please submit a clarification query via the tender portal.\nIn order to provide more opportunities for SME suppliers, rather than a single supplier, the Authority has created different lots categorised by vehicle type. These hires can be either short term e.g. weeks or for a longer period e.g. months.\nA potential contract risk would be that Local Government Reform or a change in the Council's vehicle hire and purchasing strategy may result in changes to requirements. This could result in an increase or a decrease in requirements. As a result of Local Government Reform the contract may require novation to any new local authority organisation once created.",

"description": "Hire requests are received from service areas across the Authority and are required for various reasons including owned fleet off the road due to long terms repairs, in order to provide resilience in the fleet due to reliability issues (such as minibuses) and increased demand from service areas. The Authority require a contract with suppliers who are able to supply the whole range of vehicles within the lot tendered for that are used by the Authority.\nThe estimated value given for each lot is simply the total contract value divided into 12 equal lots. If you require a more accurate estimate then please submit a clarification query via the tender portal.\nIn order to provide more opportunities for SME suppliers, rather than a single supplier, the Authority has created different lots categorised by vehicle type. These hires can be either short term e.g. weeks or for a longer period e.g. months.",

"description": "Hire requests are received from service areas across the Authority and are required for various reasons including owned fleet off the road due to long terms repairs, in order to provide resilience in the fleet due to reliability issues (such as minibuses) and increased demand from service areas. The Authority require a contract with suppliers who are able to supply the whole range of vehicles within the lot tendered for that are used by the Authority.\nThe estimated value given for each lot is simply the total contract value divided into 12 equal lots. If you require a more accurate estimate then please submit a clarification query via the tender portal.\nIn order to provide more opportunities for SME suppliers, rather than a single supplier, the Authority has created different lots categorised by vehicle type. These hires can be either short term e.g. weeks or for a longer period e.g. months.",
