Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council is buying the supply and fitting of tyres, together with associated services, for its fleet of vehicles and plant. The fleet comprises around 200 vehicles and plant items, which mainly operate within the borough of St Helens, with occasional journeys beyond its boundaries. The supplier must operate within an eight-mile radius of WA9 1JR. This is a tyre supply and fitting contract for heavy- and light-duty vehicles (CPV 34350000), delivered in the St Helens area. The contract also allows the Council to include additional goods or services that fall within its scope. The detailed fleet list and specification form part of the tender pack.

St Helens Council invited offers through an open competition. The process reached tender, with a single lot covering the requirement. Enquiries were due by 13 November 2026 at 17:00, and offers by 20 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 4 January 2027 to 31 December 2028. The estimated value is £170,000 excluding VAT (£204,000 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 75% on the pricing schedule and 25% on quality questions; the detailed breakdown is in the tender pack. Offers must be submitted through The Chest, and questions must be sent through its messaging facility. The Council's stated terms and conditions apply; proposed amendments or alternative terms may lead to rejection.

This opportunity suits a tyre supplier able to fit tyres and provide related services for a mixed fleet of around 200 vehicles and plant items. A key operational requirement is having a service location within eight miles of WA9 1JR, so suppliers outside that radius are unlikely to meet the stated requirement. The fleet primarily works within St Helens, but the provider should be able to support occasional journeys outside the borough as well. Bidders need capacity to serve both heavy- and light-duty vehicles, and to handle the Council's fleet as detailed in the tender pack. The Council may add further goods or services within the contract's remit, so relevant breadth of supply and service capability may be useful. Price carries most of the evaluation weighting, alongside quality.
