TPPL & HCC Vehicle Purchase Framework 2027

Hertfordshire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Hertfordshire County Council has announced plans to buy vehicle and fleet and furniture work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £500,000,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 18 February 2027.

The framework was launched in 2023, reference number: TPPLHCCOP03 and is due to expire in April 2027. Renewal of this framework under the Procurement Act 2023 has been identified as necessary.
