## Summary

Dorset County Council is initiating a procurement process to establish a Framework Agreement titled "Corporate Vehicle Body Repair Framework" for vehicle body repair services, including insurance repairs for corporate and third-party vehicles. The Framework aims to ensure timely and cost-effective body repairs in compliance with Health and Safety requirements across Dorset. The tender was published on 19 October 2017, with the tender period concluding on 27 November 2017. The total value of this contract is £1,000,000, and the services will be delivered across various locations, demarcated into specific Lots for different vehicle types and regions within Dorset.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in vehicle repair services to expand their business.
