Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council is conducting a direct award of a contract for the servicing of mechanical plant and equipment, with an emphasis on continuity of service within their owned assets and those managed by TDA. The contract, valued at £465,000, is set to commence on 1 April 2020 and will run for 12 months, concluding on 31 March 2021. The tender process was initially planned but was abandoned due to unforeseen circumstances, leading to a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The key stages of this procurement are in the award phase, with a contract already awarded to WEMCO Ltd. The geographical focus for delivery is in South West England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in mechanical servicing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the direct award method, which may favour established providers with a proven track record. As the Council explores future options for ongoing service provision beyond 2021, businesses in this sector should consider positioning themselves to compete for potential new opportunities. The incumbent's contract termination could create a pathway for other suppliers to enter the market, thus fostering competitive growth.

Notice Title

Direct Award of Contract for Servicing of Mechanical Plant and Equipment

Notice Description

Servicing of mechanical plant and equipment within Torbay Council owned assets and within other contracting authority assets managed by TDA. Additional information: Negotiated procedure without prior publication * Extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable for the contracting authority and in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive Explanation: The Council had initially issued a tender for this requirement, with the intention of the contract commencing on 1 April 2020. During the procurement process the Council requirements were reviewed and the possibility of purchasing a company which delivers such services was being considered. The tender process was therefore abandoned. A potential company was identified and negotiations commenced with the expectation that these would be completed by 31 March 2020. There is a possibility that the purchase may not go ahead and the Council is exploring other options for future provision of these services. We envisage this work will take up to 6 months to complete and will therefore not be in a position to contract with a new supplier until April 2021, to allow time for the decision to be made on the route to market and any resultant tender or other appropriate process is undertaken. In order to ensure continuity of provision during this time the Council is intending to make a direct award of a 12-month contract to the incumbent supplier.
