UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NY Highways Limited is seeking a supplier to maintain and thoroughly examine vehicle-mounted passenger lifting equipment and steps across its vehicle fleet. The work is intended to follow each manufacturer’s recommendations and any additional maintenance requirements set by the client. This is vehicle equipment maintenance and repair, rather than general vehicle servicing. North Yorkshire Council is managing the procurement on behalf of North Yorkshire Highways. The delivery location is identified as North Yorkshire, England. The equipment covered includes passenger lifts and steps fitted to vehicles; the purpose is to keep this equipment maintained and examined in line with the relevant requirements. The scope is intended to inform a future specification for a supplier able to deliver this routine maintenance and examination service.

The process is at planning: the buyer is gathering information from suppliers to understand available solutions and help draft a possible future tender specification. There is no invitation to tender at this stage. The buyer expects supplier engagement through 26 October 2026. The expected contract period is 8 February 2027 to 7 February 2029, with a maximum extent to 7 February 2031 and a renewal option. The estimated value is £230,400 excluding VAT (£288,000 including VAT). One lot is planned. The procurement method and evaluation criteria have not yet been set out; the market engagement is intended to inform the eventual specification and tender.

This preparatory engagement is most relevant to firms experienced in maintaining and thoroughly examining vehicle-mounted passenger lifts and steps. Suppliers should be able to carry out routine maintenance in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and any additional requirements set by the client for its vehicle fleet. The work may suit specialist vehicle-equipment maintenance providers, including small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is seeking information on the range of solutions available in the market, so suppliers with relevant technical knowledge and a clear understanding of maintenance approaches can help shape the future specification. The process has not yet reached tender, so this is an opportunity to contribute market knowledge and prepare for a possible later competition, rather than submit a bid now.
