Description of the procurement
The Provision of Vehicle Accident Repair Services is required from Automotive Bodyshops who are certified to Vehicle Damage Repair Kitemark PAS 125 Category 3 standard. The requirement will be to provide Vehicle Accident Repair services covering cars, light vehicles e.g. vans, heavy vehicles and motorcycles. The Automotive Bodyshop will also be responsible for having recovery vehicles to collect/deliver from/to Police HQ or other locations within Cheshire Constabulary area. The Automotive Bodyshop will also need to be able to attend Police HQ to undertake inspections of vehicles for production of repair estimates.
Vehicles owned, hired or leased by Cheshire Constabulary are involved in excess of 450 vehicle related collisions, incidents and cases of criminal damage each year. Often there may be up to 20 vehicles per week requiring collision or other body repair services, whereas other weeks it could be much lower. Automotive Bodyshops will need to demonstrate the capacity to deal with the anticipated volume of repairs and to cope with fluctuations in demand.

The Automotive Bodyshop providing the Vehicle Accident Repair Service will need to work with the Constabulary’s Fleet Services Unit to return vehicles to the road and operational use in an efficient and cost effective manner. This will involve, but not be limited to compliance with the required timescales for collection of vehicles for repair and submission of repair estimates, completion of repairs within agreed timeframes and prompt delivery of vehicles back to the Fleet Services Unit.
