The County Council hires vehicles to support operations when the need cannot be met from within the owned fleet.
There is a requirement to re-procure the minibus hire contract to ensure the provision of vehicles continues to represent best value against a refreshed hire profile and support specification.
The term of the contract will be 3 years starting in August 2024 and the anticipated spend is approximately £2,900,000 over the contract term based on 75 vehicles.
The Chief Fire Officer has agreed the commencement of a compliant procurement process, in line with Council’s Standing Orders on Procurement and Contracts, and will be asked to award the contract to the successful supplier.
