ING Car Lease will now supply light commercial vehicles (LCV) on the Pan-Government Purchasing and Supply Agency database, PASA.

It already supplies cars through the framework, but now joins seven other leasing companies that offer in the region of 8,000 LCVs to the public sector.

All NHS, central and local government bodies are entitled to source vehicles, both cars and LCVs, through the PASA framework agreement and a web based system allows these bodies access to competitive rates from pre-approved leasing companies.

ING Car Lease, which has been supplying vehicles to the public sector for more than 20 years, has reported ‘exceptional growth’ in this area recently.

Central to ING’s offering is an ongoing consultancy service that aims to help public sector organisations achieve best value for money from its fleet.

Mark Pedley, public sector specialist at ING Car Lease, said: “For ING Car Lease this is really important news and something we have been working towards for some time.”
