The move means that, in addition to its existing Buying Solutions' vehicle hire and fleet management services framework agreements, Lex Autolease now offers a wide range of services to the public sector.  

The new lots cover contract hire arrangements for cars, commercial vehicles below 7.5 tonnes, including conversion and motorcycles, plus the option to provide additional vehicles and fleet management services.  

In addition, Lex Autolease is also able to provide a fleet outsource solution for the total management and sourcing of a vehicle fleet under the framework. 

Andrew Franklin, head of public sector at Lex Autolease, said: ‘Many of the services covered under the individual lots are interlinked, so there are great time, cost and convenience benefits from being able to outsource to one supplier for all of those requirements.  

‘Coupled with that, we already operate a fleet of over 40,000 public sector vehicles, so we are well versed in managing the scale and complexity of these contracts.  

‘At a time when many public sector organisations are looking to deal with the legacy of the Spending Review, we are best placed to offer value-for-money solutions.’
