Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

You must hold CoMO accreditation to be eligible, which disqualifies most small independent operators. The £1.2m contract value and requirement to manage vehicles, insurance, compliance, and operations across multiple locations means only established car club operators with significant infrastructure will realistically win this.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
