Procuring services
through competitive proposals is an accepted
way of assuring taxpayers in the public
sector that they are receiving the best
quality and performance at the lowest cost
available in the market. Managed competition
is the competitive arena for such proposals.
A managed competition is similar to bidding
for outsourcing contracts, except that
employees and departments of the contracting
organization join with private contractors
in bidding on the services under
consideration.
Mercury Associates consultants view the
prospect of a managed competition as an
opportunity, not a threat, for vehicle and
equipment management organizations. They
often can use the occasion to streamline
operations, adopt new business practices,
and introduce innovations that would not be
considered under normal circumstances. Some
of our clients have used managed
competitions to reduce their operating costs
by as much as 30 percent.
While managed competitions generally take
place in the government market, private
sector fleets can benefit from our service
as well. They often must make formal
comparisons of their costs and service
levels to alternative service providers that
are seeking outsourcing contracts. |

Mercury’s services and
advice have enabled many of our clients to
win their managed competitions and to become
even more important contributors to the
success of their organization’s mission.
They frequently enhance their internal brand

operation; learn more about their own
strengths and weaknesses; improve
productivity through smart human resources
practices; and experience a renewed
dedication to meeting their own customers’
