## Summary

Wiltshire Council is currently seeking a service provider for the collection, storage, and disposal of abandoned vehicles across the county. This tender is under the "Refuse and waste related services" category with an additional classification of "Environmental services." The procurement process is at the "Tender" stage with an open procedure (below threshold). Interested suppliers must submit their bids by 18th September 2024, 14:00 BST. The contract will commence on 22nd September 2024 and run until 19th November 2031. The estimated contract value is £105,000 GBP.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for SMEs specialising in waste management and environmental services. It requires the recovery and storage of approximately 100 vehicles per year, including caravans, trailers, and motorbikes, with occasional requirements for HGVs. The contract offers a stable and long-term engagement with a prominent public authority, providing consistent work and revenue. Businesses with expertise in quick response recovery, vehicle storage, and waste disposal would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, which could significantly contribute to their growth.

## Notice

The Authority will expect the Service Provider to recover approximately 100 vehicles per year from all areas of the county. Caravans, trailers and motor cycles will also require recovery and on very rare occasions HGV vehicles may require recovery. Some vehicles will require recovery within 4 hours of report, where it provides a safety hazard or it is likely to be removed by the owner. Most recovery periods would be negotiated with the Authority's officers. Abandoned vehicles are stored until enquiries are complete. Storage charges will start from the date the council is notified that the vehicle has been collected and stored. Notification must be in the form of an email to the council.
