In plain English
Isle of Wight Council is looking for a garage or repair shop to service and repair their fleet of 160 vehicles. The work is split into two contracts: one for MOTs, servicing, and general repairs, and one for bodywork repairs. There is no guaranteed volume of work.
What the buyer wants
• Complete MOT tests, routine servicing, and planned maintenance on a variety of vehicles (cars, vans, minibuses, and large goods vehicles) • Repair mechanical faults and provide roadworthiness reports • Handle emergency breakdowns and ad hoc repairs, including vehicle recovery/towing • Perform bodywork repairs and accident damage repairs to keep vehicles safe and legal (optional: only if bidding for Lot 2)
Lots
- MOTS, Servicing and General Mechanical Repairs
- Bodywork Repairs
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You will almost certainly lose this contract if you cannot offer MOT testing approval and 24-hour breakdown recovery, or if you do not have experience managing large multi-make vehicle fleets. The lack of guaranteed work volume also makes it risky for small operators.
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.
