## Summary

The Metropolitan Police Service has awarded a contract for "The Provision of Vehicle Collision Repair" under the negotiated procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency. This contract addresses maintenance and repair services related to specific parts of vehicles, classified under CPV code 50116000. The contract, valued at £8,000,000, has been awarded to Motor Service Centre, an SME based in Southall. The contract period began on 24 October 2024 and will end on 23 October 2026. The contracting process is now in the Award stage, with the award notice published on 19 November 2024. The procurement method used was limited negotiation under Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle maintenance and repair services. With an emphasis on rapid response and high standards, SMEs in the automotive repair industry, particularly those with prior experience in managing complex and time-sensitive repair work, would be well-suited to compete in future opportunities. Given the urgency and importance of the services involved, businesses with capacity to scale services quickly and an established reputation for reliability can benefit significantly from such contracts.

## Notice

The contracting authority awards this contract under the regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication), primarily under regulation 32(2)(c) where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. The factual basis to support this activity arises from the administration process regarding the originally awarded contractor resulting in a complete end to services. Consequently the contracting authority had to at pace insource a number of critical services to provide to itself as well as engage elements of the previously established and on-boarded supply chain for services it is not able to provide to itself.
