How does the White Fleet PFI benefit the MoD?
Every element of the White Fleet contract is developed with service and cost benefits in mind. The benefits are numerous, but let me outline some of the benefits that focus on three key areas – vehicle management, cost and risk: Before we began working with the MoD, it couldn’t easily quantify the cost of their transport service. Thanks to the fixed prices that have been built into the White Fleet contract, the MoD can now accurately forecast future costs. In addition, the availability of vehicles nation-wide wasn’t measured before the contract started. Now that we manage the entire fleet of non-combat vehicles, availability is no longer an issue. We can also save money, for both parties, by operating a gain-share system. For example, following a period of evaluating the efficiency of the permanent ‘White Fleet’ we recommended reducing its size by 200 vehicles. This change has resulted in increased availability, innovation and ultimately in cost savings that were shared between both pa
