Description of the procurement

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) is looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced single Lead Contractor for the Supply and Installation of Cheshire Constabulary (CC) Vehicle Fleet Services (VFS) Workshop Cabinets and Tools.
CC VFS are responsible for over 750 cars across the Force, servicing and repairing over 20 cars a day. The CC Fleet includes a wide range of vehicles such as boats, riot vans, speed camera vans and motor bikes.
To increase and maintain Quality Standards, improve Security, and minimise Health and Safety risks, the PCC would like to install new workstations throughout the workshop. The workstations will have both fitted and mobile storage units and provide a complete set of tools for each workstation.
There is a finite budget for this programme of work, which may not initially cover the full requirement. The tender opportunity has been constructed to facilitate discreet blocks of work as funding allows. The intention is to award the full programme of work to one successful bidder.
The PCC would expect bids to be significantly below the estimated value included the advert.
It is anticipated that the project will commence at the point of Contract Award and will be completed before the end of 2024.
There will be a site visit opportunity on Monday 15th July 2024. Details of the booking arrangements will be added to the ITT on a broadcast basis and MUST be prebooked.
Full details can be found within the Online ITT – which is constructed as an online questionnaire with Supporting files in the document folder.
The Contract value range shown relates to the bids evaluated. On award, the design was refined using the unit costs provided in the tender, so the value awarded is £209,581.50. To allow for future further refinement and ancillary products this value may increase up to a maximum value of £230,000. The contract end date shown is the estimated end of the installation project. There is provision in the contract to extend beyond this date if necessary to cover ancillary work and warranties.
