I think you just need to find who the biggest firms are in your licensing area and approach them.

Or just ask your licensing officer for some pointers.

Highway services in Nottingham will plate cars for Lincolnshire councils but probably not worth your while as they charge about £160 a week to rent a car

If they answer Winston Churchill, walk away. Quietly.
