Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Managed Vehicle Recovery Service, led by the PCC for North Wales Police, encompasses a 24-hour call-out service catering to vehicle recovery requirements across North Wales Police, Cumbria Constabulary, Lancashire Constabulary, and Lincolnshire Police. Classified under the services category and governed by the open procedure procurement method, the contract involves delivering breakdown and recovery services specifically for motor vehicles. Although initially active, due to unforeseen circumstances, the tender was cancelled and set to be reissued soon. Originally intended to close on 13th March 2026, it will be re-evaluated and announced once ready. The affected regions include UKL, UKF3, UKD4, UKD1, and the broader UK area.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle recovery services with the capacity to manage and staff a 24/7 operation dedicated to police service needs. Companies experienced in handling large-scale recovery operations, particularly those with robust call centre capabilities, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement framework allows businesses to showcase their efficiency in service delivery and cost-effectiveness, potentially resulting in long-term contract opportunities with potential extensions of up to three years beyond the original contract timeline. As the process will be reissued, interested parties should prepare to meet stringent service criteria and demonstrate readiness to support public order and safety through reliable service delivery.
