Detail on the strategic objectives of the agreement are included within paragraph 2.1.7 of the specification, addressing; - Fleet Utilisation - Control of Costs - Transition of fleet to zero emission Existing leasing arrangements will continue to be financed and managed (inclusive of full SMR and tyre provision) by the legacy fleet management company until the leases expire (up to 6 years from lease commencement). The incoming supplier, successful through this procurement, will inherit Network Rail’s owned fleet of vehicles to manage immediately, and subsequent vehicle orders will increase the supplier’s fleet size during the term of the framework, which will increase year on year as vehicles expire from legacy supplier agreements. Full details of the requirements are contained in the published procurement documentation. Additional information: The maximum value of the framework is £1.02bn, (inc. ongoing lease costs after agreement expiry) but the overall value will be in a range of between £650m and £1.02bn. This will depend on: - Available funding through the contract duration. - Network Rail's adoption of zero-emission vehicles during the term. - Network Rail's intention to reduce it's leased fleet and short term hires over the term.
