Purpose

To implement recommendations
found through a policy review process.
 
The current Policy was
published in 2015 and is no longer fit for purpose.
The Fleet department has
undergone significant change in the last 24 months, and
enhancements to the driver training programme have been introduced
as well as improved management of Goods Vehicle Operator Licensing
compliance. It is now necessary to reflect this within a revised
edition.
 
A cabinet report dated March
’23 also refers to the corporatisation of fleet acquisition,
usage and disposal and will be included in the policy
refresh.
 
It is also relevant to include
new policy content around fleet telematics and drug/alcohol misuse,
as these are commonplace industry practices and necessary elements
of fleet policy.
