Vehicle Accident Repairs Service to Merseyside Police - Ref PCC/PD/080
Merseyside
The purpose of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is to provide tenderers with an
opportunity to put forward a proposal for a Vehicle Accident Repairs Service to
Merseyside Police only, in accordance with the conditions within the Invittion to
Tender document.
The proposed contract period is for two years (with an option for two further
twelve month extensions). The Contract will commence on 01/09/2016. The
contract is for a service provision to Merseyside Police only and will not be open
to other Police Forces.
The county of Merseyside covers five local authorities; Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley and St. Helens. Merseyside is primarily urban although there are several areas such as the western side of the Wirral and parts of Sefton and St. Helens which are of a rural nature.
The Force has its own ‘in house’ bodyshop facility. However, this is not capable of handling all the crash damage repairs and therefore, uses the services of outside garages to supplement the ‘in house’ facility.
The purpose of this contract is for the one company to provide motor vehicle body and mechanical repair work for vehicles operated by Merseyside Police.
The Force is seeking to appoint the one contractor to perform this work. They will be able to provide this service anywhere within the Merseyside Police Force area (refer to Appendix 1 – Force Map) and must be able to meet a two hour response time.
There is an option to extend the Contract for a further two periods of twelve months.
Payment within thirty (30) days of date of invoice.
