Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow (Harrow Council) is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a "Fleet Bodyshop Repair Service" under the CPV category of body-repair services for vehicles. This service is intended for its municipal fleet of approximately 300 vehicles. Geographically, the coverage is centred in the Harrow region (UKI74). The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with market engagement discussions scheduled for September 2024. Interested parties are invited to express their interest by contacting David Hayes, the Procurement Business Partner at Harrow Council. A future notice is expected on 30th September 2024, signaling the commencement of the tender phase.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for service providers specialising in vehicle repair and maintenance to secure a contract with a local authority. Businesses that offer fleet bodyshop repair services, especially those with capabilities in breakdown and recovery services for both motor and commercial vehicles, would be well-suited to compete. The Council is particularly interested in engaging with local SMEs to provide them with practical advice on tendering for local government contracts, breaking down entry barriers, and seeking best practices in the industry. By participating, businesses can gather market intelligence, inform the tender development process, and potentially secure a long-term contract that supports business growth.
