In plain English

Leicester City Council wants a contractor to maintain, repair and service its vehicle fleet, plant machinery and tractors, keeping them safe, roadworthy and available for frontline services. The contract is worth about £1.5 million and is split into four lots: light vans, large goods and passenger vehicles, construction plant such as diggers and backhoe loaders, and agricultural equipment.

What the buyer wants

• Planned preventative maintenance, inspections, servicing, diagnostics and repairs across the vehicles and equipment in each lot, with MOT preparation and testing for the vehicles that need it • Breakdown support when vehicles or plant fail, so that downtime is kept to a minimum • Records showing that all work meets statutory safety and compliance rules, with reliable reporting to the council on vehicle availability and condition

Lots

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The biggest barrier is the need for DVSA-authorised MOT and heavy vehicle or PSV workshop facilities, plus round-the-clock breakdown cover across the whole fleet, which a small business without its own large workshop and mobile response team would struggle to meet, so bidding for a single lot is more realistic.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
