Description

The University has a requirement to provide lease hire contract vehicles to its staff both via:
• a Salary Sacrifice Scheme (i.e. funds deducted directly from employees' salary on a monthly basis for a lease hire vehicle arrangement for Ultra Low Emission Vehicles {ULEVs} - vehicles emitting 75g/km CO2 or less)
• a Personal Lease scheme for employees that wish to lease vehicles above 75g/km CO2. Employees should be able to access better value by using this contract than by individually approaching selected suppliers (including competitors) themselves.

The project aims to enhance the University's environmental ethos to encourage its staff to utilise low emission vehicles with a CO2 rating of 75g/km or less on a highly attractive monthly rate that demonstrates excellent value for money for the employee. Options to support and encourage staff in selecting vehicles with lower g/km CO2 even where above 75g/km CO2 should also be widely available.
