Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, in partnership with Cheshire Constabulary, is seeking to establish a Fully Managed Vehicle Recovery Scheme. This service encompasses call handling, a managed network of vehicle recovery operators, roadside breakdown services, and a single disposal process, aimed at enhancing recovery operations across the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender, classified under automobile emergency road services (CPV code 50118000), is currently in the planning stage, with the tender period set to conclude on 17 January 2020. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1 June 2020 and will last for 48 months, with options for two 12-month extensions thereafter.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the vehicle recovery sector, particularly those equipped with PAS43 certified operations and experience in managed recovery services. Companies offering roadside assistance, call handling, and disposal services for end-of-life vehicles are encouraged to participate. Given the relatively low volume of incidents historically managed under the scheme—approximately 3-5 recoveries per year by Cheshire Fire Authority—businesses that can demonstrate flexibility and swift response capabilities will be especially suited to meet the requirements of this contract and potentially expand their service offerings.
