'To replace the current vehicle with the same model, the total cost is estimated at £67,180 over four years'
The Belfast Lord Mayor’s car for the next four years has been chosen - with a significant drop in its annual costs.
Council officers recommended a different car. The officer report states: “Taking account of the required seating and load space needs, long journey, timely returns and lease/hire cost, it is recommended that the BMW i5 4 door saloon best meets all round operational requirements and overall value for money over a four year contract period. The cost estimate for this preferred option over four years is approximately £44,250.
The council report states: “The current annual lease cost of the Lord Mayor’s official vehicle is £8,439 and a total of £33,756 over the four year contract period. To replace the current vehicle with the same model, the total cost is estimated at £67,180 over four years which would constitute a significant increase compared to the previous procurement exercise.”
