## Summary

The Cheshire Constabulary, acting on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, has completed a tender procurement process titled "CPA/SPU/646" for the establishment of a Framework Agreement for hiring second-hand vehicles. This opportunity, directed at police forces in the North West region of the UK, will facilitate the spot hire of vehicles for covert operations over variable periods. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the contract valued at £1,000,000. The contract period is set from 1st March 2017 to 29th February 2020. The tender closed on 16th January 2017.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in vehicle hire and road transport services, particularly those with capabilities in providing flexible, short-term rental solutions tailored for operational purposes. Suppliers such as large vehicle hire companies and specialised firms in the automotive sector would be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract, given the focus on services required by police forces for covert surveillance and intelligence gathering activities.

## Notice

PCC wishes to invite tenders for the establishment of a Framework Agreement made available to Police Forces in North West Region, including Staffordshire, for the hire of second hand vehicles. This opportunity is for the spot hire of vehicles for covert purposes on an as and when basis for varying lengths of hire period.

Tenderers should note that this is a separate arrangement to that for hire of self drive vehicles for non-operational purposes and is not a long term leasing arrangement.
