Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured a vehicle and plant breakdown and recovery service, covering emergency assistance and recovery for vehicles and plant. The work is associated with Southampton, with the delivery location identified by postcode SO14 7LY. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles or plant. The council is the buyer, and the selected supplier is Rymer Commercials Limited. The procurement is relevant to providers of vehicle and plant breakdown response and recovery services serving the Southampton area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Rymer Commercials Limited. The award was made on 21 October 2024, following a competitive quotation procedure below the procurement threshold. The tender submission deadline was 20 September 2024 at noon. The estimated tender value and the awarded value are each £100,000. The contract period runs from 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2028. The procurement is described as a limited procedure; no separate award evaluation basis is stated. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There is one award and one selected supplier.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Southampton City Council’s demand for vehicle and plant breakdown and recovery services. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns to market would need to provide dependable breakdown response and recovery for both vehicles and plant, with the operational ability to serve the Southampton delivery area. The council selected a supplier for a multi-year service requirement through a competitive quotation route, so firms should be prepared to compete through that process and show they can deliver the full stated service. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller providers as well as larger recovery businesses.
