Tender description
Hire requests are received from service areas across the Authority and are required for various reasons including owned fleet off the road due to long terms repairs, in order to provide resilience in the fleet due to reliability issues (such as minibuses) and increased demand from service areas. The Authority require a contract with suppliers who are able to supply the whole range of vehicles used by the Authority. In order to provide more opportunities for SME suppliers, rather than a single supplier, the Authority has created different lots categorised by vehicle type. These hires can be either short term e.g. weeks or for a longer period e.g. months. Keywords: Van hire, Vehicle hire, Vehicle Lease, Vehicle Rental, Mini bus hire, Car Hire

About the buyer
Leicestershire County Council buys as a local authority, advertising larger contracts on the government's Find a Tender service. Smaller contracts appear separately on Contracts Finder, the portal for lower-value public work. Some contracts also run through frameworks set up by outside bodies, including ESPO, and suppliers apply to join those directly. The council itself trades nationally as ESPO, running framework agreements for public bodies nationwide. A two-year procurement plan on the council's open data site lists contracts still to come. Suppliers must also register on Find a Tender, a requirement since April 2026.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Leicestershire County Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
