8. Fleet Consultancy
Fleet Management Consultancy advice is at the core
of what we do at EVP. We advise on all elements of
fleet management, running a procurement exercise or
a full review of the whole vehicle fleet operation.
We have a wealth of experience working for a
variety of different organizations, each with their
own different business strategy. We help
organizations align the running of the vehicle
fleet to the business strategy making it efficient
for the company and a great driver experience.
Our fleet management consultancy expertise is not
limited to traditional company cars and light
commercial vehicles. We are also able to offer
advice regarding more complex vehicle fleets such
as those with specialist conversions, HGV’s, MHE
and alternatively fuelled models such as electric
vehicles.
We can even advise on the emergence of mobility
services where the traditionally separate
categories of fleet and travel are beginning to
blend into a single service.

9. Fleet Procurement
Fleet procurement can seem like a dark art for
generalist procurement professionals. The fleet
category involves a complex stakeholder map with
finance, payroll, human resources and operations all
being involved in the management of the category. With
changes to legislation and taxation coupled with new
vehicle technologies the procurement process can seem
complex.
Specialist knowledge is therefore important either to
supplement internal resources or to run the exercise
outright. Deep market knowledge helps reduce the
timelines for the tender process. Knowing how to frame
the specification is essential to drive the best
commercial outcome from the supply chain. This can
involve fully outsourcing the activity or the de-
coupling of the supply chain depending on the fleet
characteristics.
At EVP we have a well established procurement
methodology which guides the strategic procurement
process. We are experienced negotiating with suppliers
and are well versed in which procurement levers to pull
in order to secure long term value from the contract.
In addition we have implementation managers to guide
your organisation through any changes in suppliers.

Agreements

10. Fleet Manager+
Fleet Manager+ provides effective supplier relationship
management to businesses running a vehicle fleet. We
do this through active engagement of suppliers and
internal stakeholders to continually refine the service
being delivered.
We deliver this by taking a balanced approach to cost,
delivery, risk and environmental factors
The role of our fleet managers is to coordinate between
the supply base and internal stakeholders within your
organisation to make the running of the fleet as light
touch as possible but you are safe in the knowledge
that the fleet is being run effectively and
efficiently.
Specific support we provide your organisation is
dependent on your fleet and operational needs. We
jointly work with you to determine the shape and format
of the service during the early stage of our
relationship to ensure we cater for your fleet’s unique
requirements.
As the fleet manager is completely independent you can
be safe in the knowledge you will always be getting the
best advice rather than what the Leasing Company would
like you to hear.

Fleet management information can be a challenge. Fleet
managers and category managers who work with a number
of leasing companies will know the complexity of having
to aggregate, process and analyse data from
incompatible systems.
Our cloud based reporting system Fleet MI provides a
solution and delivers bespoke dashboard reporting.. So
whether you are transitioning suppliers, have a
diversified supply chain or simply struggle to get a
clear picture of your fleet then we can help.
Importantly Fleet MI supports the strategic direction
of fleet through helping identify opportunities both
locally and globally. The system supports the
deconstruction of the supply chain to get maximum
commercial advantage.

and administrators experience a seamless transition.
