CPC Drive: Vehicle Leasing and Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme
Introduction
The CPC Drive: Vehicle Leasing and Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme is a framework managed by NHS Commercial Solutions under the Transport & Fleet category. This framework is designed to provide NHS trusts and other public sector organisations with an efficient and straightforward mechanism to implement vehicle salary sacrifice schemes. The framework is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), and it is set to run until 31 March 2026. Its primary purpose is to simplify the process of accessing vehicle leasing and salary sacrifice options through an intuitive and mobile-friendly online platform specifically tailored for CPC Drive.
Context & Use Case
The framework serves as a valuable tool for NHS trusts and public sector organisations seeking to enhance their employee benefits packages through vehicle leasing and salary sacrifice schemes. Vehicle salary sacrifice schemes are an attractive option for employees, allowing them to lease a vehicle by sacrificing a portion of their pre-tax salary. This can lead to potential tax savings and a more cost-effective way of acquiring a vehicle. Contracting authorities utilise this framework to offer a competitive and structured approach to vehicle leasing, thereby improving employee satisfaction and retention.
Scope of Services
The CPC Drive framework encompasses a range of services related to vehicle leasing and salary sacrifice schemes. The services typically include: 1. Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Schemes: Allowing employees to lease vehicles through salary deductions, offering potential tax and National Insurance savings. 2. Vehicle Leasing Options: Providing a variety of leasing options to suit different organisational needs and employee preferences. 3. Online Platform Access: Utilising a user-friendly and mobile-friendly online system to manage vehicle leasing and salary sacrifice processes efficiently. 4. Support and Guidance: Offering guidance to both employers and employees on managing and maximising the benefits of the salary sacrifice schemes.
Who Can Apply
This framework is open to suppliers capable of delivering vehicle leasing and salary sacrifice services. Suppliers with expertise in fleet management, employee benefit schemes, and automotive leasing will find this framework particularly suitable. Unlike a DPS, this framework does not allow for continuous application; therefore, suppliers interested in participating should ensure they meet the qualification criteria and apply within the designated timeframes.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit from this framework through its compliance with procurement regulations, ensuring a transparent and fair process. It facilitates a quicker route to market by providing pre-approved suppliers, reducing the time and resources needed for procurement exercises. The competitive environment fostered by the framework encourages value for money, while the structured approach helps in managing the risks associated with vehicle leasing and salary sacrifice arrangements.
