Independent employer-side selection
Choose, change or add an EV salary sacrifice provider with a defensible process
We help HR, reward, benefits, finance, procurement, fleet and risk teams compare established providers, test the commercial and operating model, and mobilise the chosen arrangement.
A provider comparison should answer the employer's questions
Provider-authored comparisons naturally describe the market through the provider's own proposition. An employer needs a requirements-led view that starts with its workforce, policies, payroll, risk appetite, vehicle strategy and service expectations.
We structure the decision around evidence, complete commercial terms and operational ownership. Price matters, but so do the package behind the price, foreseeable employee events, implementation capability, data and the employer's ability to manage performance after launch.
The employer remains the client. Supplier contact is managed within an agreed process, with relevant interests and potential conflicts identified before recommendations are made.
When employers commission this work
The scope is adapted to the decision, whether the programme is new, established or changing.
First provider selection
Turn workforce, reward, fleet, finance and risk requirements into a structured market assessment and implementation decision.
Incumbent review or renewal
Test current economics, service, risk, terms and future fit before renewing, renegotiating or going to market.
Second-supplier assessment
Evaluate the commercial case and the practical controls required to operate two providers without creating confusion or unmanaged gaps.
Provider change
Define transition requirements, portfolio treatment, payroll and data dependencies, communications, responsibilities and cutover governance.
Post-merger alignment
Compare inherited programmes, contracts and employee promises, then establish a defensible target operating model.
Programme remediation
Address service, pricing, risk, take-up or governance concerns through focused renegotiation, redesign or market testing.
What a serious provider comparison must test
The decision should be based on the whole arrangement, not one illustration or headline saving.
Employer and employee economics
Vehicle price, funding, discounts, package inclusions, employer contributions, National Insurance effects and transparent reconciliation of pay foregone.
Contract and employment model
Master terms, employee agreement, policy, eligibility, responsibilities, change control and consistency across the complete document set.
Risk and protection
Early termination, life events, long-term absence, redundancy, write-off, insurance, exclusions, evidence requirements and residual exposure.
Vehicle supply and proposition
OEM access, order bank, stock, used vehicles, lead times, substitution, charging support, in-life services and end-of-contract process.
Payroll, data and administration
Employee election, payroll instructions, Benefit-in-Kind reporting, data ownership, integrations, exceptions, controls and audit evidence.
Employee journey and activation
Eligibility, portal and illustration clarity, communications, support, complaints, launch plan and sustained take-up.
Service and governance
Service levels, management information, escalation, complaints, risk forums, improvement plans and accountable decision rights.
Implementation capability
Named owners, critical dependencies, testing, readiness criteria, cutover, employee communications and early-life support.

A second provider is an operating-model decision, not simply another price list
A second supplier may improve resilience, vehicle access, competitive tension or support for a distinct employee population. It may also divide volumes, complicate payroll, create inconsistent employee terms and blur responsibility when a case falls between providers.
We define the purpose of the second-supplier model, allocation rules, minimum viable volumes, employee choice, OEM and vehicle routing, common policy requirements, data flows, governance and escalation before implementation.
