Leasedrive Velo wins third Buying Solutions framework agreement for a full house
28 February 2011

Following a comprehensive online tender process, the Leasedrive Velo Group, the UK’s largest independent privately-owned vehicle management group, has won a place on a third framework agreement from Buying Solutions, the national procurement partner for all UK public services. Lot 7 covers single source supply of leased passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes, with the option to provide additional vehicles and fleet management services as required. The group is one of only five suppliers on this latest framework agreement effective from 16 May 2011 for a four-year period.

Roddy Graham, commercial director, at the Leasedrive Velo Group said: “We are delighted to have a full house of framework agreements tendered for from Buying Solutions following the awards won in 2009 for general fleet management services, in 2010 for pan-government vehicle hire services and now for this latest one for sole supply of leased passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes.”

“We are a one-stop shop solution for any government or public sector department looking to outsource its fleet or rental management requirements. Besides being in a position to provide contract hire vehicles for all of a customer’s vehicle requirements, the new framework allows us to offer the management of pool fleets, provide consolidated invoicing, manage and or transition existing fleet arrangements via our RunOut:Manager and offer a sale and leaseback service.”
