Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

HEART Academies Trust, a group of schools, wants to set up a framework agreement (a pre-approved list of suppliers that other organisations can buy from) for managed salary sacrifice car schemes for employees. Under a salary sacrifice scheme, staff give up part of their pay in exchange for a vehicle, which is leased and managed by the supplier. The estimated value is £250,000,000, and the schemes are mainly aimed at education sector employees.

What the buyer wants

• Supply and lease vehicles to employees through a salary sacrifice arrangement • Run the scheme administration for the employees taking part • Manage the full service as a single package, covering vehicles, leasing and administration

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice lists no specific qualifications or certifications, but its very large estimated value of £250,000,000 and the need to supply, lease and administer vehicles for employees across the education sector would most likely rule out smaller businesses unless they partner with larger providers.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.

Where to apply

The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
