Vehicle Hire Services

Tender description

Crown Commercial Service as the Authority is putting in place a Pan Government Collaborative Framework Agreement for use by UK public sector bodies identified at VI.3 (and any future successors to these organisations), which include Central Government Departments and their Arm’s Length Bodies and Agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies, NHS bodies and Local Authorities. The above Public Sector Bodies have a need for the provision of UK and International Vehicle Hire Services. Crown Commercial Service reserves the right for an electronic auction to be held by Public Sector bodies during further competition among the parties to the Framework Agreement(s). The Authority considers that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 ("TUPE") may apply at Call-Off Agreement level under all Lots of this Framework Agreement. The Authority considers TUPE to be an issue in respect to all Lots on the basis that there is organised grouping of employees dedicated to providing these services under the current arrangements. It is the responsibility of Potential Providers to take their own advice and consider whether TUPE is likely to apply in the particular circumstances at individual Call Off Agreement stage under this Framework Agreement and to act accordingly.
