Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees procured vehicle accident damage repair services through a framework for its operational fleet. The fleet includes approximately 600 vehicles under 7.5 tonnes, including cars, electric vehicles, vans, minibuses and specialist vehicles used across parks, housing and passenger transport. The required service covers the full repair process: vehicle recovery, inspection, repairs to manufacturer standards, supporting documentation, warranties and returning vehicles to the Council. Repairs must meet original equipment manufacturer standards and relevant safety and regulatory requirements. Work is delivered in Kirklees, serving the Council’s operations in the area. This is a vehicle body repair and accident management requirement, classified under CPV 50110000, repair and maintenance services of motor vehicles and associated equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure for a closed framework with up to six participants. Four suppliers were awarded positions on 7 August 2026: A & D Accident Repair Centre Limited, Archbold Carshop Limited, L & I Eaton ARC Limited and Vehicle Bodycare Centre Limited. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 for £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT. Its initial period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2029, with one optional 12-month extension to 13 September 2030. Specific contracts are awarded by reopening competition among framework suppliers, using price and time, with the most advantageous tender selected. The framework received four bids. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for end-to-end accident repair of a mixed municipal fleet, including electric, specialist and passenger-carrying vehicles. A credible future competitor would need established accident repair capability, capacity to handle variable demand and a dependable recovery-to-return service. Evidence of repairs meeting manufacturer standards, safety and regulatory requirements would be important, alongside robust inspection, repair documentation and warranty processes. Suppliers should be able to support the Council’s varied operational services and manage work alongside existing commitments, since capacity is reassessed before specific contracts are awarded. The four successful suppliers are all small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that specialist regional repair businesses can compete for this type of framework. Future quotations are judged on both price and delivery time, so responsive scheduling and efficient turnaround would matter.
