The framework agreement will run for two years,
starting from 2 November, with an option to renew for a further two
years after that.
Services covered by the framework agreement include
account management, maintenance, fuel card and accident management,
remarketing, driver training, fleet audits, and duty of care
solutions – including grey fleet monitoring.
Buying Solutions aims to maximise efficiency and
savings in public sector procurement, and while public sector
organisations are not obligated to issue tenders through its
framework agreement, the option is nevertheless open for them to do
so.
“By bringing together a group of approved, trusted
suppliers of fleet management services, Buying Solutions can offer
everyone in the public sector access to high quality fleet
management without having to embark on a lengthy,
resource-intensive tender process,” explained Stuart Walker, brand
director at Automotive Leasing.

Velo commented: “Effectively, the framework agreement for general
fleet management services means that any government department
looking to outsource its fleet management requirement knows that we
have been pre-approved by Buying Solutions. It gives our vehicle
management division a head start in any future discussions.
“Similarly, any government department wishing to
appoint us over the next two years can comfortably do so in the
knowledge that we have been pre-approved.
“This agreement should help us build on the
long-standing public sector customer base of our rental management
division.”
John Pout, head of public sector at Arval, added:
“Being included within all of the Buying Solutions frameworks
allows us to take a holistic approach to fleet management and
allows the public sector organisations that we deal with to enjoy
the operational benefits and cost efficiencies that this
brings.”
