This procurement falls under the services category within the off-road vehicles industry sector and is located in the West Midlands, England. The tender period culminates on 20 November 2017 at 15:00 hours, with the framework agreement set to commence on 18 December 2017, initially for two years, with a possible two-year extension. The selection will be made using an open procedure, and bidders may submit proposals for one or multiple lots designated for various borough command areas such as Coventry, Birmingham, and Black Country. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the automotive or vehicle disposal services industries. Companies that possess the required skills and experience, including those with approvals as authorised treatment facilities for end-of-life vehicles, and hold adequate insurance coverage will be well-suited to compete. As bidders need to demonstrate a steady service capability and meet specific financial criteria, businesses that are financially stable with a minimum turnover of £344,000 and a robust risk rating from Creditsafe stand to benefit greatly by securing contracts within this framework. ## Notice The scope of this framework agreement is to provide The West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority with collection and delivery of End of life Vehicles for training and demonstration purposes for RTC training (Road Traffic Collison) which will include cutting the vehicles, removing the doors/roof and setting the vehicles on fire in line with the End of Life Vehicles Specification. The vehicles required would include small passenger vehicles, passenger service vehicles, heavy goods vehicles and newer vehicles. The vehicles will remain the supplier's property at all times therefore risk will not pass to the Authority. The Authority will return all parts of the vehicle possible after the training/demonstrations are complete. The End of life Vehicles will be delivered to different locations as detailed in the specification however it is expected that the supplier is flexible regarding delivering vehicles to other locations on an ad-hoc basis.
