Central government and wider public sector organisations can buy tyres and glass for their vehicles. Also includes the leasing, hiring or buying of vehicle telematics hardware and software solutions.

Access a wide range of products and services to help you maintain your vehicles. You can also access a range of supply options including supply only (for tyres) and supply and fit at a supplier depot or your premises. This can also include roadside and emergency supply and fit.
Products and services include:

Telematics refers to products and services such as dash cams and tracking devices that you can use to track and analyse vehicle data. For example, data you can track includes fuel consumption, vehicle tracking and driver behaviour.
We designed this agreement to allow you to decide which telematics solution you need while providing suppliers the flexibility to adapt their offering to meet those needs.
This agreement will run for 8 years.
