Description

The BBC is tendering the provision of vehicle rental services. The arrangement will enable the BBC to source rental vehicles through a commercial solution covering access to: cars, light commercial vehicles, specialists vehicles, minibuses, buses, and vehicles that are over 3.5 tonnes in weight. BBC staff require access to rental vehicles used for various operational or production reasons. BBC staff are able to hire such vehicles where public transport is not appropriate, in accordance with internal policy.

The BBC is acting on its own behalf, and on behalf of its commercial subsidiaries within BBC Commercial Holdings Limited.

Vehicles will be available for hire via an online booking tool embedded on the BBC intranet, supported by offline support.

The provider(s) will have coverage across the UK, in addition to European and international sites.

NB - the total value of this contract is not committed spend, and is therefore only an expectation of spend that could be made through the contract. The total value includes spend anticipated from the BBC's commercial subsidiaries.
