Summary of the contracting process

Northern Ireland Water Limited procured fleet management services for the servicing, maintenance and repair of its light commercial vehicle and heavy goods vehicle fleets. The requirement covers vehicle repair, maintenance and associated services, classified under CPV 50100000. Work is primarily carried out at the contractor’s premises or those of nominated subcontractors, with delivery across Northern Ireland. The buyer is Northern Ireland Water Limited, based in Belfast. The procurement was structured as one lot covering the full fleet requirement, rather than separating light commercial and heavy goods vehicle services. It is therefore relevant to vehicle workshops, fleet maintenance providers, commercial vehicle repair businesses and specialist subcontractors able to support operational fleets in Northern Ireland.

The procurement has been awarded. NI Trucks Ltd was selected as supplier, and the active contract was signed on 9 June 2020. Its maximum estimated value is £8,360,000 including the published contract modification, which increased the value from £6,860,000. The modification also extended the maximum contract term by 15 months; the contract period is stated as 2,610 days. The original tender described a 2,160-day contract period. NI Water said the extension was needed after a re-procurement produced bids substantially above expected costs, allowing time to review requirements, re-engage with the market and conduct a further procurement exercise. The award covers the single fleet servicing, maintenance and repair requirement.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Northern Ireland Water for outsourced servicing, maintenance and repair of light commercial and heavy goods vehicle fleets. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability across both vehicle types, with workshop capacity and the ability to undertake routine servicing, preventative maintenance, diagnostics and repairs. The delivery model favours suppliers with their own suitable premises in Northern Ireland, or established nominated subcontractor arrangements that provide dependable geographic coverage and specialist capacity. Fleet operators should be able to support a sizeable operational vehicle base over a multi-year term, manage responsive maintenance alongside planned servicing, and demonstrate reliable service coordination. The incumbent was an SME, indicating that an appropriately capable specialist business can compete for this scale of fleet services.
