Drax Electric Vehicles secures place on ESPO Framework to support public sector fleet electrification

The appointment of BMM Energy Solutions as a Drax subsidiary enables councils, local authorities, NHS trusts, and other public-sector bodies to procure our end-to-end electric vehicle and charging support through an established framework agreement, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating project delivery.

Public sector fleets are under increasing pressure to decarbonise while maintaining essential frontline services. Many organisations face tight budgets, limited in-house resources and the challenge of aligning vehicle replacement with charging infrastructure, grid capacity and long-term energy planning. The framework allows these fleets to reduce procurement timescales, simplify compliance, and build confidence by providing seamless access to a vetted and approved set of specialist suppliers.

Naomi Nye, Head of Sales at Drax Electric Vehicles, said:

“Public sector fleets are balancing ambitious decarbonisation targets with a unique set of challenges around governance, compliance and delivery of their strategy. Our recent appointment to the ESPO framework will help fleet managers to bridge the gap between their ambitions and actual implementation. It provides a clear and compliant route for these fleet teams to access the technical, operational and energy expertise needed to deliver successful electrification programmes. By connecting public sector organisations with the right specialists at the right time, we can help turn strategy into practical, scalable action.”

At Drax Electric Vehicles, we support organisations across the electrification journey, from feasibility and infrastructure design through to charge point installation, energy optimisation and ongoing support.

By combining fleet insight with broader energy expertise, we help public sector bodies align vehicle transitions with long-term estate and decarbonisation strategies.
