## Summary

The Metropolitan Police Service is seeking to award a contract for Vehicle Recovery Services to support its Vehicle Recovery & Examination Services (VRES) operations. This procurement falls under the industry category of breakdown and recovery services for motor vehicles, with an estimated contract value between £20 million and £30 million. The tender process is currently at the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 23rd July 2021. The initial contract period will begin on 30th November 2021 and may extend up to 29th November 2026, covering services primarily within London, but potentially extending across the UK and Europe.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle recovery and related services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with the capacity to deliver robust recovery solutions and a track record in supporting public sector operations will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement can assist organisations in establishing long-term partnerships with a key public sector buyer and enhance their market presence through collaboration in a critical service area.
