Description

Procure Plus are a value focused, not for profit company that specialises in the procurement of goods and services related to both the new build, repair, and maintenance of social housing. Originally focussed in the Northwest, Procure Plus are now extending their offer with the aim of delivering a service across the UK. Procure Plus wishes to procure and enter into a framework agreement with a mix of independent fleet management and lease management organisations for fleet management services. The framework agreement will include the arrangement of vehicle leasing, contract hire, short term hire, outright purchase from a range of manufacturers including but not limited to petrol, diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles. The framework agreement will also include the provision of telematics, tracking, racking, fuel management, livery, other modifications and all or any associated goods and services, either to vehicles procured through the fleet management service or elsewhere, to provide a comprehensive vehicle management solution predominantly for social housing providers. Customers of this framework agreement will typically (but not exclusively) procure fleets that range in size from 3 vehicles to 400 vehicles.

• This is a one-off contract (no recurrence)
• Renewals are not available.

Legal Justification

Justification is made on the grounds that the length of the underlying contracts awarded under this framework agreement will typically exceed a term of four years. Procure Plus is also expanding the number of companies that will be appointed to the framework agreement when compared to previous procurements undertaken for fleet management. Procure Plus therefore wishes to ensure that the appointed service providers are each afforded ample opportunity to compete for and secure underlying contracts under the framework agreement during the term so that they may recover their initial investment in participating in the procurement. Procure Plus believes that a framework term of eight years will provide the basis to do this.
