Reading Borough Council seeks a car club operator, holding full accreditation with Carplus, to work in partnership with the Council to provide car club services within the Reading area. The Council anticipates an initial fleet of six vehicles will be available to the car club operator.
The Council seeks an operator capable of managing the car club service on behalf of the Council, using Council owned vehicles (new vehicles will be procured upon commencement of this contract). The fleet of vehicles must be available solely to Council staff, or its approved partners, between the hours of 08:00 and 18:00, Mon â Fri, excluding bank holidays.
Outside of the hours specified above, the operator will hire out the vehicles on a commercial basis. The council expects a percentage based rebate from all fees received, offset against the cost of operating the vehicles during âwork hoursâ.
