Vehicle Telematics System

Oxford Direct Services (ODS) operate a fleet of ~330 vehicles and ~340 items of plant on behalf of Oxford Direct Services and Oxford City Council, used for services such as waste & recycling, street cleansing, engineering, parks and building repairs. All registered vehicles require some form of tracking with some needing additional telematics and safety features (e.g. cameras) so we are seeking a supplier for a new contract to provide this service including hardware, installation and a back office function. Due to the financial implication of changing tracking for the whole fleet this contract may run concurrently with the service provided by our current supplier and new tracking & safety systems will be installed on a rolling replacement basis as new vehicles replace old.

ODS aim to streamline their fleet using the latest technology to reach the sustainable fleet required to meet Oxford City Council’s Zero Emission Zone and Climate commitments. ODS aim to have 25% of the fleet electric by 2021. Based on this aim, we are looking for a collaborative relationship that ensures we have a green and efficient fleet both now and for the future.
