THE Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) has extended a deal with Countrywide Car and Van Rental for a further two years for its short-term vehicle rental.

Victoria Pavier, senior procurement manager at Ofsted, said: ‘Each week the department carries out hundreds of inspections helping professionals in education and childcare make a difference to the lives of children. For these visits our inspectors rely on the comprehensive vehicle rental from Countrywide.’
