How it works

There are 12 suppliers on the panel. You can purchase the vehicles best suited to your needs from any or all suppliers on the panel. The vehicles available through this contract are listed in the vehicle catalogue.

Contract resources

The catalogue is updated on a regular basis, so your agency can access the latest vehicles. Your agency can then evaluate vehicles that represent great value and meet a range of key metrics.

Once you’ve reviewed the catalogue and have an idea of your needs, reach out to your chosen suppliers to arrange a test drive. Suppliers will often allocate a local dealership as your day-to-day contact for test drives and deliveries.

Your agency isn’t required to complete a formal secondary procurement, but we strongly encourage you to test a range of options.

We have evaluated the vehicles based on:

  • AoG drive away price
  • total cost of ownership estimate
  • safety rating
  • WLTP-3 (or equivalent) vehicle carbon emissions rating
  • WLTP-3 (or equivalent) fuel economy rating
  • vehicle availability (lead time).

The catalogue includes the top 25% of vehicles based on our evaluation.

Using the contract

Features and benefits

This contract reduces the complexity and cost of procurement for your agency, while providing continuous improvements in technology, service delivery, and cost-effectiveness.

Other benefits include:

  • a high standard of pre-evaluated vehicles for agencies to choose from, saving you time in researching options

  • a standardised purchasing process and set of terms, saving you time
  • negotiated discounts over and above market rates
  • increased focus on supplier performance management through service level agreements.

Savings

Agencies who participate in the contract don't need to go through a full procurement process of their own, which saves time, effort and cost.

The average discount we have negotiated is 13.75% off market rates. The discounts available under this contract, over and above the discounts an agency may have received due to its fleet size, are listed in the table below. 

Fleet size Average additional discount through AoG
Small Fleets (1-10) 8%
Medium Fleets (11-50) 6%
Large Fleets (51-500) 5%

We've also negotiated savings on parts and accessories. Not all suppliers have agreed to provide discounts on parts and accessories. 

Product Average discount
Parts purchased in relation to vehicle servicing 9%
Parts purchased in relation to unscheduled vehicle servicing 9%
Parts purchased in relation to crash repair 9%
Accessories 8%

Discuss any accessories or parts you might need with your prospective suppliers to ensure you receive these savings.

Cost recovery

Most AoG contracts include an administration fee. This fee is a simple, effective and transparent way of recovering the cost of developing, sourcing, implementing and managing AoG contracts.

This contract includes the following administration fee:

  • 1.5% administration fee on Passenger, SUV and Commercial vehicles.
  • 0.5% administration fee captured on Specialist vehicles.

No administration fee will be collected on:

  • on-road costs
  • accessories
  • additional charges incurred by your agency in getting the vehicle ready for delivery. 

Suppliers collect the administration fee and pass it on to MBIE. Agencies don't need to make any payments to MBIE.
