Description

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire (the PCC) is to invite tenders for provision of a Vehicle Body Shop Replacement, Repair and Associated Services for Warwickshire Police. The PCC currently has a fleet of approximately 369 vehicles in Warwickshire which is made up of various makes and models of vehicles, although it is predominantly Vauxhall, Ford, BMW and Volvo. It is anticipated that the PCC will appoint one Contractor to service the whole of Warwickshire. This contract is for the provision of a collection, repair and delivery service to Agent (Warwickshire Police Force service provider) for either Marked, Unmarked, Covert, Light Commercial and/or Third Party damaged (damage caused by someone other than the force) vehicles requiring bodywork replacement and or repair. The Authority is an emergency service and therefore, whilst the quality and cost of repair are important factors, the availability and reduction of downtime following from damage of vehicles is critical. In appointing a Contractor the Authority seeks to achieve the following: a) Reduced fleet operating costs; b) Reduced vehicle downtime; c) Guaranteed repair work to manufacturers standards; d) Full use of new technology; e) Reduce carbon emission (green policy).
