## Summary

The procurement process is being managed by Highways England for the project titled "Incident Support Unit - Conversion." This initiative falls under the vehicle conversion and reconditioning services industry category and is based in Birmingham, England. Currently, the process is in the planning stage, with a key milestone being the engagement end date set for 13 May 2020. The procurement method initiated is a tender for the acquisition of an indicative total of 15 specially converted Incident Support Vehicles, which must meet specific requirements for safety and functionality.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the vehicle conversion sector, particularly those with expertise in compliance with Chapter 8 livery and lighting requirements. Smaller companies (SMEs) will find this an accessible opportunity, as they may have the innovation and agility to meet the unique specifications outlined. Interested businesses capable of vehicle design and conversion, along with those experienced in welfare provisions and incident management solutions, are well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The purpose of this paper is to outline the procurement options and considerations for the purchase of an indicative total of 15 Incident Support Vehicles. Each vehicle is required to conform to Chapter 8 livery and lighting requirements. This will include high visibility fluorescent chevron livery, an amber light bar and grille lights. The vehicles will also need a conversion to ensure the vehicle is functional as an Incident Support Unit, including welfare provisions, kit storage and incident management requirements. The initial vehicle should be a white, Long Wheel Base Van with a High Roof and be a maximum of 3.5 Tonne fully laden. This is to ensure all drivers can drive on a modern Category B licence. The Convertor will be expected to design and assist in the selection of suitable vehicles.
