Purpose

Following a competitive tender exercise for
provision of an Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Lease Car Scheme,
the recommended supplier has been identified as the highest scoring
on the basis of the most economically advantageous
tender.

Decision

ESCC wants to introduce a Salary Sacrifice
Lease Car scheme for electric vehicles. This will allow employees
to access electric vehicles at a saving compared to conventional
purchase. This will help employees to access greener transport and
will therefore support the Council’s climate emergency plans.
It will also provide an attractive staff benefit, helping to aid
recruitment and retention. The scheme will be run as a managed
service by a private provider, to facilitate employee access to a
range of good quality vehicles which represent good value for
money. The managed service will also ensure the council is
compliant with all relevant HMRC legislation, and that the
administrative burden for the authority is minimal.
