This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for repair and maintenance services, and is taking place in Croydon, England. The tender process is currently at the open stage and is being conducted in accordance with the Open Procedure as outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The deadline for submissions is set for 12:00 on 8 March 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 1 April 2021 and conclude by 1 March 2026. The total estimated value of the contract is £750,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in vehicle body repair and maintenance services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio. Given that the Croydon Council operates a fleet of 282 vehicles, many of which are used daily, businesses that can provide prompt and efficient repair services will be well-suited to compete in this tender. Additionally, suppliers that can demonstrate a strong reputation for quality and reliability in service delivery will have a competitive advantage, especially since timely repairs are essential for maintaining the council's operational efficiency and public image. ## Notice Croydon Council wishes to award a contract to a supplier to deliver Vehicle Body Repairs for a maximum term of 3 years plus an extension of 2 years. Croydon Council operates a fleet of 282 vehicles many of which are utilised seven days per week. In the financial year 19/20 there were 111 incidents that required vehicle body work repair, these incidents included Own Drivers, Third Party Damage and Property Damage. If any fleet vehicle is damaged repairs need to be arranged quickly to avoid depreciation of the asset and to maintain a good reputational image (as many of the vehicles are used for public transport). Also where negligence of a Council Driver has occurred and a Third Parties Vehicle is damaged an offer for the Council to arrange repairs is made, this benefits the Third Party as they do not need to incur any excess payments to their vehicle insurer (which often leads to a premium increase), and Council also benefits from this service in both its reputation and financially. This tender process is being carried out in accordance with the Open Procedure as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9011fd37-6994-45c0-8c41-9d987a71529e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 8 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2021 - 1 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £750,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CROYDON COUNCIL | | Locality | CROYDON | | Post town | Croydon | | Postcode | CR0 1EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI6 Outer London - South | | ITL 3 | TLI62 Croydon | | Local authority | Croydon | | Electoral ward | Fairfield | | Westminster constituency | Croydon West | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services ## Release History - 4 Feb 2021 at 17:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9011fd37-6994-45c0-8c41-9d987a71529e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9011fd37-6994-45c0-8c41-9d987a71529e 4th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.croydon.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
