In plain English
Central Bedfordshire Council wants contractors to service, maintain and repair its in-house fleet of about 45 vehicles for five years from 1 January 2027. The work is split into a North lot and a South lot with an estimated total value of £258,200, and suppliers can bid for one lot or both.
What the buyer wants
• Routine servicing, maintenance, repairs, MOT preparation and diagnostics for a mixed fleet of car-derived vans, welfare vehicles with tail lifts or ramps, and agricultural machinery. • Supply and fitting of replacement parts, tyres and windscreen replacements where required. • Work covering the North area (including Biggleswade, Ampthill, Sandy and Bedford), the South area (including Dunstable, Houghton Regis and Leighton Buzzard), or both.
Lots
- Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services – North
- Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services – South
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications, insurance or financial thresholds, but it asks for suitably qualified and experienced suppliers, so a small business would most likely be ruled out by lacking proven experience with mixed fleets that include tail-lift welfare vehicles and agricultural machinery, or by lacking the capacity to deliver a five-year contract across a large area.
Always check the tender documents.
