This service encompasses call handling, a managed network of vehicle recovery operators, roadside breakdown services, and a single disposal process, aimed at enhancing recovery operations across the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender, classified under automobile emergency road services (CPV code 50118000), is currently in the planning stage, with the tender period set to conclude on 17 January 2020. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1 June 2020 and will last for 48 months, with options for two 12-month extensions thereafter. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the vehicle recovery sector, particularly those equipped with PAS43 certified operations and experience in managed recovery services. Companies offering roadside assistance, call handling, and disposal services for end-of-life vehicles are encouraged to participate. Given the relatively low volume of incidents historically managed under the scheme—approximately 3-5 recoveries per year by Cheshire Fire Authority—businesses that can demonstrate flexibility and swift response capabilities will be especially suited to meet the requirements of this contract and potentially expand their service offerings. ## Notice The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire and the Chief Constable of Cheshire Constabulary are seeking to establish a Fully Managed Vehicle Recovery Scheme. The service is to include: * call handling * managed network of approved vehicle recovery operators * roadside breakdown and recovery services * single disposal process * complaint and dispute resolution including legal support * consolidated invoicing Cheshire Fire Authority/Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service will also utilise the contract for the recovery of fire appliances/fire vehicles. The volume of recoveries is small, historically between 3-5 per year. The fully managed vehicle recovery scheme will be provided by the Contractor/ Managing Agent and it will be their responsibility to engage recovery operators who must be PAS43 certified. The PCC's and CFA's area is that served by Cheshire Constabulary and Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service covering the four unitary authorities of Cheshire West & Chester, Cheshire East, Halton & Warrington and the area contains motorway, trunk roads, 'A' roads and other classifications of road in urban and rural settings. The PCC requires a sustainable vehicle recovery scheme where recovery operators are either assigned to specific geographic areas (linked to beat codes) or deployed utilising a 'best time to incident' system. The Recovery Operator deployed will be the one contracted to the area where the incident occurs or the one who has been identified as the 'best time to incident'. The PCC also requires the Contractor/Managing Agent to arrange for a single organisation to deal with the collection and disposal of vehicles for auction, scrapping, breaking or crushing; end of life vehicles and disposal of property. The Contractor/Managing Agent will be required to work with the PCC to implement any best practice solutions or NPCC requirements. In the period October 2018 - September 2019, circa 7500 incidents were dealt with through the Vehicle Recovery Scheme. The contract term is 48 months to commence from 1.6.2020 until the 31.5.2024. There is the option to extend the contract for a further 2 periods of 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/40640f73-8db7-459b-a6fb-e95ddd885a3b | | 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 | 13 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2020 - 31 May 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | CHESHIRE CONSTABULARY ON BEHALF OF THE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR CHESHIRE | | Locality | WINSFORD, CHESHIRE | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW7 2UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Winsford Over & Verdin | | Westminster constituency | Mid Cheshire | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50118000 - Automobile emergency road services ## Release History - 13 Dec 2019 at 15:31 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/40640f73-8db7-459b-a6fb-e95ddd885a3b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/40640f73-8db7-459b-a6fb-e95ddd885a3b 13th December 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=31317&B=BLUELIGHT All applications should be made via the Bluelight e-Sourcing portal https://bluelight.eu-supply.com/ under reference 38253 where full details about the opportunity can be accessed.
