LOCAL authority and public sector fleets are being provided with guidance on how best to dispose of their end-of-contract cars through auction.

A 20-point guide called Best Practice and Reduced Risk Used Vehicle Disposals, with comments from leading industry figures, has been produced by the Fleet Auction Group (FLAG).

A spokesman said: ‘It looks at the various selling channels available to local authorities and public sector organisations, why best practice is important in reducing corporate risk and lists 20 key considerations and guidelines when selling ex-fleet vehicles at auction.’
