Summary of the contracting process

Norse Commercial Services Limited is planning to procure commercial vehicle repair, servicing and maintenance for its fleet, covering heavy goods vehicles, passenger-carrying vehicles, light commercial vehicles, agricultural vehicles and other associated vehicles. The requirement covers Norfolk for Norse Highways and Norse Transport, and Medway for Medway Norse. Services include scheduled MOT work, preparing and submitting vehicles for MOT in line with current legislation, minor reactive repairs that can safely be completed away from a workshop using a mobile fitter, and repairs notified or approved by Norse. The wider buying group includes Norse Eastern Limited, Norse Transport and Medway Norse Limited, all based in Norwich. The relevant service category is vehicle repair, maintenance and associated services (CPV 50100000).

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. It is expected to use an above-threshold open procedure, with a framework agreement. One planned lot covers the requirement. The indicative contract period is 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2029, with a possible extension to 31 March 2030 and renewal rights. The estimated value is £5,891,104 including £5,600,000 gross, in GBP. A future notice is expected on 14 August 2026. Suppliers should note that some vehicles are subject to operator licensing requirements. The buyer requires prior approval before major repairs to non-serviceable items found during routine servicing, and expects original equipment manufacturer parts or reputable recommended alternatives where OEM parts are unavailable.

The requirement is likely to suit established commercial vehicle repair and fleet maintenance providers able to support a mixed fleet across Norfolk and Medway. Relevant capability includes servicing and repairing HGVs, PCVs, LCVs, agricultural vehicles and related vehicles, delivering scheduled MOT preparation and submission, and providing mobile fitters for safe minor repairs away from a workshop. Suppliers will need to work within current MOT legislation and understand vehicles subject to operator licensing requirements. The buyer is looking for suitably qualified suppliers that can respond to approved repair instructions, distinguish routine servicing findings from major repairs requiring approval, and source OEM parts or reputable recommended alternatives. Businesses with workshop capacity, mobile response capability and experience managing varied commercial fleets should prepare for the future tender.
