Pendragon Vehicle Management has signed a three-year supply contract with workplace provider PHS for its 2,100 vehicle fleet of cars and LCVs.

Previously the contract was awarded by PHS on an annual basis and the longer-term deal denotes a desire by both parties to operate on a progressive and collaborative approach.

Serving more than 200,000 organisations from 2,100 company vehicles, PHS requires a specialist and proficient fleet to support its customers with a wide range of workplace services.

The Vauxhall range of cars and LCVs presented PHS with the best wholelife costs, with the LCVs having additional specification and bespoke conversions to meet the requirements of the different operating divisions.

Pendragon Vehicle Management is supplying all vehicles on a full maintenance contract hire facility, while also implementing other value added services such as vehicle downtime management for the LCVs.

Both parties are fully committed to reducing the operating fleet costs on a progressive basis.

Anthony Ritchings, group director of procurement for PHS, said: “Transportation is integral to our business so finding the right fleet provider to cater to our unique requirements was a key priority.

"Our vans need to signify our ethos so reliability was paramount. Working with Pendragon Vehicle Management helped to evaluate our requirements and ensure we fully optimise our fleet.”
