## Summary

The Knowsley Housing Trust is conducting a tender for a "Flexible Rental Vehicle Hire Contract," aimed at sourcing approximately 37 commercial vehicles for their in-house maintenance team. This procurement process falls under the goods category, specifically for motor vehicles, and is located in North West England, primarily within the borough of Knowsley. The tender was published on 30th October 2019 and had a submission deadline of 2nd December 2019. The contract, valued at £600,000, is expected to commence on 14th December 2019 and will run for four years, with services initially including the supply and maintenance of vehicles to meet operational needs.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses capable of providing flexible vehicle rental services and associated maintenance. Companies specialising in motor vehicle supply, repair, and maintenance would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. As the contract demands routine and non-routine maintenance for the vehicles, firms with established capabilities in fleet management, especially within the North West region, may find this tender aligned with their service offerings, thus enhancing their business prospects.

## Notice

KHT are seeking bids from suppliers to provide the supply of commercial vehicles on a flexible rental basis, to replace a number of vehicles currently used by the in-house maintenance team. Specifications of vehicles anticipated from contract commencement and the quantities can be found in the Supporting Information section of the tender. The list of vehicles anticipated from contract commencement will form the basis of the cost submission spreadsheet, however due to operational requirements this list may vary post tender and throughout the life of the contract. The outcome of the tender process will be a single contract with one supplier. The contract will be for 4 years and the anticipated commencement date is estimated to be during December 2019. Services initially required under the contract are expected to include the supply of approximately 37 vehicles with the majority of vehicles expected to be delivered in April 2020. Further details regarding the anticipated initial vehicles can be found in the specification document that can be found in the supporting information folder. Expected annual mileage per vehicle is approximately 10,000 miles. Suppliers must have the ability to manage and fulfil routine and non-routine maintenance of the vehicles (including unlimited tyres). Maintenance requirements can be found in the Supporting Information section of this tender. First Ark operate primarily in the borough of Knowsley, however maintenance services may be required throughout North West England and surrounding areas as appropriate to meet the operational needs of the business. All vehicles are likely to be delivered within the Knowsley area, however First Ark reserve the right to request deliveries of vehicles to locations within North West England.
