In plain English
Synchronicity Care Limited needs to hire a fleet of 22 vehicles (5 large Luton vans with tail lifts and 17 smaller vans) to deliver medical supplies, post and equipment across North-East England hospitals and health centres, 24/7/365. The supplier must provide the vehicles fully maintained, serviced, with breakdown cover and replacement vehicles on standby.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and manage 22 vehicles (5 x Luton 3.5 tonne vans with tail lifts, 17 x mixed small/medium vans, mix of electric and petrol) • Provide comprehensive maintenance, servicing, inspections (including mandatory tail-lift safety checks under Lifting Regulations 1998) and all fluid/tyre/windscreen replacement • Deliver 24/7 breakdown recovery within 1 hour with vehicle replacement within 2 hours, plus mobile puncture repair within 2 hours • Provide relief vehicles, driver training, customised NHS livery, and dedicated breakdown contact line
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract almost certainly disqualifies small businesses: it requires proven fleet management of 22+ vehicles, a nationwide breakdown network with 1-2 hour response times, 24/7 staffing, and the capital to maintain standby relief vehicles. Most tradespersons or one-person operations cannot deliver this.
