modernization and optimization of the operation of the cleaning service and the water supply service of the municipality, in order to substantially enhance the services provided at this level to the citizens, as the reinforcement of the existing fleet for the more efficient operation of the cleaning and water supply services of the municipality of saronikos. financial leasing today constitutes an alternative and flexible way of financing for municipalities. therefore, it is a mechanism that allows a municipality to supplement, renew, modernize, or enhance its existing fleet of vehicles without using its own funds. financial leasing has the following advantages: • it is a financing tool for acquiring a permanent fleet of vehicles. after the end of the leasing period, the municipality acquires ownership of the equipment for an agreed symbolic price. • maintenance of liquidity. with leasing as a financing tool, the municipality avoids tying up funds for vehicle purchases and maintains its liquidity, which is key to further developing its activities. • gradual disbursement of vat. the corresponding vat is not disbursed immediately by the municipality, as in the case of investment through bank loans or self-financing, but gradually, during the contract, through the rents. • expense planning. the duration of the lease and the amount of the rent are adjusted according to the cash flows (seasonality) of the municipality. • avoidance of excessive borrowing and immediate payment of large amounts for acquiring the necessary equipment. • immediate acquisition and use of the necessary equipment. • the municipality's balance sheet and capital structure improve because the obligation to pay rents does not appear in the liabilities (only in order accounts). • smaller guarantees and simpler procedures. • avoidance of technological obsolescence of the municipality's equipment. • the municipality achieves better procurement terms for the equipment, as its value is paid immediately and in cash, without it disbursing its own funds from its treasury. operational, financial, and environmental benefits of operational leasing: vehicle financial leasing is a widely established method of providing and using a fleet of vehicles in the greek public sector, which is also applied in the eu. through this process, each vehicle is provided for use to the entity through an operational financial leasing contract, with multiple positive benefits for the recipient of this specific service. indicatively and not exhaustively, for the subcontracted contract, the benefits from this specific method are identified as follows: operational: • reduction of the administrative burden and processes of the services for maintenance work, finding spare parts, insurance, payment of road taxes, tire changes, as all these elements and costs are included in the contract and are the contractor's responsibility. • increased availability of vehicles, resulting in the municipality's vehicle fleet being constantly active and functional. • enhancement of the quality of vehicle maintenance, as it is carried out in selected and approved workshops of the contractor, thus ensuring excellent quality of maintenance work, availability of the right spare parts, and multiple technical checks of the vehicles. the result is that vehicles are maintained under strict and controlled specifications and maintain optimal technical operational condition, high safety of use, and overall ensure the quality of maintenance. • drastic reduction of the time required for necessary scheduled maintenance procedures, as this program is determined based on the data and specifications of the manufacturer that the contractor who provides the vehicles must apply. in this case, no administrative or other process is required from the service other than communication for the execution of maintenance and the check for it upon return/delivery of the vehicle. the financial benefits identified are: • fixed cost throughout the duration of the contract for all vehicles included in the contract, for maintenance, insurance, roadside assistance, and tire changes. • significantly reduced fuel costs for the entire duration of the contract, as new vehicles are clearly more economical in terms of fuel consumption in lt/100km. also, the vehicles being retired consume exclusively diesel fuel, where the average price fluctuates based on the fuel price bulletin with a constantly increasing trend. with a conservative estimate for the same kilometers, fuel costs decrease by at least 40%. • financial budget advantage. if the municipality proceeds to purchase (supply) the vehicles, based on the retail prices of the vehicles, it will undoubtedly burden the budget of the current year with a significant amount. this means that the municipality ties up a large amount that it could limit to cover other operational expenses or development expenses, projects, etc. with the method of operational financial leasing, the cost develops over five years, resulting in... estimated value excluding vat: 3565000.00 eur.Procurement with parallel repair and maintenance through financial leasing of three (3) garbage trucks type press 16 tons, four (4) tipping trucks 19 tons with crane and grab, one (1) tipping truck 19 tons, eight (8) pick-up trucks 4x4, three (3) van-type pick-up
