Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has procured a framework for bodyshop repairs to its vehicle fleet, covering repairs required on demand. The services include motor vehicle repair and maintenance, delivered in Sheffield. The framework is intended to provide repair capacity when council vehicles need work, with each repair requirement competed among framework suppliers rather than allocated as a single, fixed package. Three suppliers were selected for this arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the award was made on 22 September 2026. Three suppliers were selected: G.P.G. 2000 Limited, L & I Eaton Arc Limited and Roberts Motor Bodies Limited. The framework has an estimated value of £900,000 excluding VAT (£1,080,000 including VAT), and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030. Sheffield City Council used an open procedure to appoint up to four suppliers; individual repair jobs are awarded through mini-competitions. Four bids were received and three reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality at 85% and social value at 15%. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows a continuing requirement for vehicle bodyshop repair services across Sheffield City Council’s fleet, with work commissioned through competitions among framework suppliers. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate strong repair quality and a persuasive approach to delivering social value, as these were the stated evaluation priorities. The framework attracted four bids, three of which reached the final stage; all three final-stage bids came from small and medium-sized businesses. That indicates that smaller repair businesses can compete for this scale of council framework, while the multiple-supplier structure makes the ability to respond to successive mini-competitions commercially important. The selected suppliers are bodyshop and motor-body repair businesses, so relevant experience and the capacity to undertake council vehicle repairs would be central to competing when this buyer next procures the requirement.
