FleetEV expands UK public sector reach with national framework appointment

FleetEV has been appointed to the ESPO Specialist Vehicle Contract Hire & Leasing Framework (218_26), further strengthening its position as one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist vehicle solutions for the public sector.

The Cardiff-based business has secured places on eight lots within the nationally recognised framework, creating a significant new procurement route for public sector organisations across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The ESPO Framework provides organisations with a compliant and flexible route to procure specialist vehicle leasing solutions, supporting a wide range of operational requirements across waste management, highways, environmental services, passenger transport and other frontline services.

 FleetEV has successfully been appointed to lots concerning refuse collection vehicles, winter maintenance vehicles, gully emptiers, buses and minibuses, tippers, loaders, other specialist vehicles, and mixed specialist vehicle fleets.

The appointment builds on FleetEV’s track record of delivering specialist vehicles to local authorities and public sector organisations across the UK, complementing the business’ existing public sector framework portfolio and reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner for public sector fleet procurement.

FleetEV works closely with customers, manufacturers and specialist conversion partners to manage every stage of the process, from initial concept and vehicle specification to procurement, conversion, delivery and ongoing support, with every vehicle designed around the customer’s operational requirements.

Jarrad Morris, Founder and CEO of FleetEV, said: “This appointment is another important milestone for FleetEV and reflects the expertise our team has built in delivering complex specialist vehicle projects.

“We’ve already supplied a wide range of specialist vehicles to public sector organisations, including electric tippers, mobile libraries, wheelchair accessible vehicles and public health dog control vans. Each project is different, and our role is to guide customers from the initial concept and specification right through to delivery.

“One of the biggest advantages of this framework is that it gives public sector buyers another compliant route to procure specialist vehicles through contract hire and leasing, removing the need for outright capital purchase where that better suits their financial strategy. That flexibility can make a real difference for organisations looking to manage budgets while still investing in the right vehicles.

“This framework complements our already strong presence within the Welsh public sector while creating a significant opportunity to support more organisations across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It adds another string to our bow and further strengthens our ability to deliver innovative fleet solutions to the public sector.”

With appointments to more than £1.8bn of public sector procurement frameworks, FleetEV continues to invest in innovative fleet solutions that support organisations in modernising their operations while accelerating the transition to lower emission transport wherever practical.

While the ESPO Framework supports all fuel types, FleetEV remains focused on helping organisations specify and deliver low and zero emission specialist vehicles where operationally viable, supporting the transition to cleaner public sector fleets without compromising frontline service delivery.

Jarrad Morris added: “We’ve always believed the future of public sector fleets is electric. While some specialist vehicles have traditionally been difficult to electrify, advances in battery technology and vehicle design mean more of these applications are becoming viable every year.

“That creates an exciting opportunity for local authorities and public sector organisations to begin decarbonising some of their most challenging vehicle fleets, and we’re proud to be helping lead that transition.”
