In plain English
The University of Exeter wants a garage or workshop to service, repair and maintain about 15 university-owned vehicles at its Streatham and St Lukes campuses in Exeter. The work includes planned servicing, annual MOT tests and emergency breakdown call-outs, over a three-year contract with an option to extend by one year.
What the buyer wants
• Routine, planned servicing and maintenance to the manufacturer's specification, plus annual MOT testing and emergency breakdown call-outs • Vehicle collection, servicing, repair and return to the university's Exeter campuses, including short-notice and urgent work • An established operational presence in Devon and a suitably equipped vehicle maintenance workshop able to support the fleet
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The requirement for an established operational presence in Devon and a suitably equipped vehicle maintenance workshop would likely rule out any small business without a local workshop, and the need for short-notice collection and emergency call-outs means it would also be hard for firms based far from Exeter to meet.
