Vehicle Lease, Fleet Management and Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes

Central government and wider public sector can lease passenger cars and light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles. Includes fleet management and salary sacrifice car schemes.

Description

You can lease the full range of vehicles available from vehicle manufacturers, including converted, specialist and municipal vehicles (such as bin lorries, road cleaning and operational vehicles). 

All fuel types are available to lease including electric, hybrid and hydrogen derivatives. 

You will be able to lease vehicles that are currently available in the market as well as those that will be developed and brought to market by vehicle manufacturers during the term of this agreement.

You can access quotes for leasing standard build passenger cars and vans through our Fleet Portal.

Available services include:

  • sourcing vehicles that are either leased, purchased or hired on behalf of a buyer
  • managing a buyers own fleet and all services associated with running a fleet such as:
    • managing the servicing maintenance and repair of vehicles
    • fleet administration tasks
    • support with creating a fleet policy
    • support to transition to low emission vehicles
    • driver training and risk assessment services

You can set up a vehicle salary sacrifice car scheme. This scheme will enable your employees to get a brand new, low cost car of their choice for a single monthly deduction of their salary before tax and National Insurance.

You also have the option to set up a scheme to support your organisation’s green agenda and help cut organisational costs. You can specify which vehicles you want to include in your scheme. For example, only Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEV).

This agreement will run for 4 years until its expiry on 7 February 2027.

How to buy

You can buy from this agreement using direct award or you can run a further competition.

Before using this agreement, you should read the buyer guide. The guide provides instructions about how to complete the direct award and further competition process for each lot.

For fleet management services and other bespoke requirements we always recommend undertaking a further competition to select your supplier and find the best products, services and price based on your specification.

For lot 1 you can use our Fleet Portal to:

  • compare vehicle specifications and indicative pricing for standard build passenger cars and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes
  • select the vehicle which is most appropriate for your organisation 

If this is your first time using the fleet portal, you will need to register for an account.  

When you have selected a vehicle and received a quote, you can contact your chosen lease provider to confirm the details and place a direct award with the supplier on that basis.

When you are ready to place your order you can make a direct award using the Simple Order Form Template provided in Framework Schedule 6A. 

The Simple Order Form contains pre-drafted terms included in the form. If you want to make any changes, you will need to edit the terms and share them with the supplier for agreement before placing your order.
