This procurement process, currently in the tender stage, seeks services to aid in the recovery, storage, and disposal of abandoned, damaged, or obstructive vehicles to ensure highway safety. Interested businesses must submit their tenders by 22nd August 2024, with the contract set to commence on 1st December 2024, lasting for two years with an optional extension period of up to three additional years. The procurement will be conducted through an open procedure, and the contract is divided into multiple lots, providing opportunities across different geographical areas within Greater Manchester. This tender presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses in the vehicle recovery sector with a minimum contract value of £12,500,000 and an estimated value of £15,000,000. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stand to benefit significantly from this procurement, given the requirement for relevant licenses, accreditations, and comprehensive Health and Safety policies. The structured lot system ensures a fair distribution of tasks among multiple operators, favouring businesses with strong service delivery capability. Additionally, businesses involved in light and heavy vehicle recovery, including cars, commercial vehicles, buses, and motorcycles, would be well-suited to compete for this lucrative opportunity. ## Notice Greater Manchester Police have an obligation to ensure the free passageway of the highways and the physical removal of those vehicles where there is a likelihood of danger or obstruction to other road users. Legislation empowers the Police to remove or arrange for the removal of vehicles which are abandoned, damaged, causing obstruction or danger as well as those that are suspected stolen. Invariably, Recovery Operators are called upon to assist the Police in the recovery, storage and final disposal of these vehicles. Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is tendering to appoint operators to deliver light and heavy vehicle recovery services within the Greater Manchester area. The contract period will be 2 years with an option to extend for a further 3 years on a 1 + 1 + 1 option. To be considered for award of a contract Recovery Operators must have in place the relevant operator licences, accreditations and Health and Safety policies. The contract will also be broken down into various Lots to cover a variety of geographical areas in Greater Manchester. Where there are multiple operators awarded to any of the lots, jobs will be allocated evenly on a pro-rota basis starting with the highest scoring bidders. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38709829-41b0-497b-8b1e-efa9317302a5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 22 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2024 - 30 Nov 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY - GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M11 2NS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Clayton & Openshaw | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50118100 - Breakdown and recovery services for cars - 50118200 - Breakdown and recovery services for commercial vehicles - 50118300 - Breakdown and recovery services for buses - 50118400 - Breakdown and recovery services for motor vehicles - 50118500 - Breakdown and recovery services for motorcycles ## Release History - 23 Jul 2024 at 18:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38709829-41b0-497b-8b1e-efa9317302a5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38709829-41b0-497b-8b1e-efa9317302a5 23rd July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=84040&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/35572 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
