UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority procured the reactive supply of tyres for its Fleet Workshop at Lexden, Colchester. The requirement covers tyres for heavy and light-duty vehicles used in the authority’s fleet, supplied when needed for workshop operations rather than as a one-off scheduled delivery. The buying authority is based at Service Headquarters, Kelvedon Park, Rivenhall. This is a goods requirement for a supplier able to provide replacement vehicle tyres and support the workshop’s operational needs in Colchester and the surrounding Essex area. It is relevant to tyre distributors, commercial vehicle tyre suppliers and businesses with the stock, logistics and customer service arrangements needed to respond to reactive fleet requirements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to County Tyre Holdings Ltd (trading as BITS), an SME. It was a below-threshold procurement with one completed lot. The award was made on 21 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2027, with an optional 12-month extension allowing it to continue until 26 July 2028. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The award covers the supply of tyres for heavy and light-duty vehicles. The recorded procurement method is below threshold, with no further method detail provided. The supplier was selected for the completed requirement managed by the authority.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for responsive tyre supply to a public-sector fleet workshop in Essex. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to tyres for both heavy and light-duty vehicles, with the breadth of stock or distribution capability to handle varied fleet requirements. The reactive nature of the service means operational responsiveness, dependable fulfilment and clear arrangements for urgent orders are likely to matter alongside product availability. Suppliers should be able to support a workshop-based customer in Colchester, maintain consistent service standards and manage deliveries efficiently. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national organisation. Tyre distributors and commercial vehicle specialists are the closest fit.
