In plain English

Cheshire West and Chester Council is looking for vehicle hire companies to provide short-term vehicle rentals (vans, cars, etc.) on an as-needed basis. This is a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which means they'll call off suppliers as they need vehicles, with no guaranteed minimum order.

What the buyer wants

• Provide short-term vehicle hire services (likely vans, cars, minibuses) available on flexible notice • Maintain a fleet ready for quick deployment to council departments • Meet the council's insurance, maintenance, and compliance standards as detailed in their specification documents

Likely requirements

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

This is a DPS framework where there's no guaranteed volume of work. Most small vehicle hire businesses would struggle unless they can sustain operations on unpredictable, occasional orders with no minimum commitment from the council.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
