In plain English

Glasgow City Council needs a company to provide recovery and relocation services for vehicles and plant equipment. This means collecting broken-down, damaged, or relocated vehicles and machinery, and moving them to new locations or repair facilities.

What the buyer wants

• Provide vehicle and plant recovery services (towing, winching, extraction of stuck or damaged equipment) • Relocate vehicles and heavy plant equipment to specified locations • Operate a fleet capable of handling various vehicle types and plant machinery • Respond to recovery requests within agreed timeframes

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires significant capital investment in specialist recovery vehicles, heavy plant transport equipment, and operators with HGV licences and recovery certifications. Most micro-businesses and sole traders without existing recovery fleet assets will be unable to bid.
