## Summary

Dorset Council is seeking to procure a supply of 18 pre-used refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) and associated vehicles, with the tender identified as "Supply of Pre-used Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) and associated vehicles." This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically within the motor vehicles for the transport of goods sector. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender was published on 27th November 2020, with a closing date for submissions set at 10:00 am on 14th December 2020. Following a major fire that destroyed existing vehicles, the council has declared this procurement as urgent to ensure continued waste removal services in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the vehicle supply and transportation industry, particularly those experienced in supplying used or refurbished vehicles. Businesses specialising in heavy-duty motor vehicles, including refuse collection vehicles, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Participating in this tender could not only enhance the business's visibility and network within the public sector but also provide consistent future procurement opportunities with Dorset Council as they may seek further vehicle replacements or expansions to their fleet.

## Notice

This tender is seeking the supply of 18 x pre-used refuse collection vehicles and associated vehicles set as 18 x lots. Closing date: 10.00am Monday 14th December 2020. Additional information: A major fire on Sunday 15 November 2020 at a Dorset Council waste depot resulted in 18 x Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) and associated vehicles being destroyed. This has risen for an urgent need to source and procure pre-used RCVs, and associated vehicles, as replacements to swiftly remove the dependency of hiring replacements, in order to maintain vital waste services, as this is not economically viable for the Council. This does not give Dorset Council sufficient time to comply with standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. The Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, the Council is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (regulation 27.5 for the open procedure) in respect of this procurement.
