This procurement, initiated as a limited tender, is currently in the Award stage, following the end date of the tender period on 11 May 2022. The contract, valued at £336,600, spans from 22 August 2022 to 21 August 2028, and has a minimum value of £300,000. Interested parties should note that the council's contract is being conducted under the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. This opportunity offers significant potential for growth for businesses specialising in testing and inspection services, particularly those with expertise in vehicle compliance. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, especially if they can demonstrate relevant qualifications and experience. The contract promises regular testing requirements that could create sustained demand for qualified suppliers across North Northamptonshire. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced Suppliers to provide Licensed Vehicle Testing and Inspection Services, in line with the requirements of its detailed specification. Additional information: This contract is a concession style contract and as such, the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (and the associated thresholds) have been considered ahead of publication of this opportunity. Analysis of turnover has been considered and applied in determining the application of the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016, which states at point 8. (3) that "the value of a concession contract shall be the total turnover of the concessionaire generated over the duration of the contract, net of value added tax, as estimated by the concession granter". Using an appropriately objective method, the Council has determined the turnover of the service to be below the value at which the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 would be applicable. The methodology is based on two (2) tests per year at an estimated PS55.00 per test for the current number of licensed vehicles across North Northamptonshire (612), with an estimated overall 15% increase in number of vehicles over the contract term, to provide a five-year turnover value, which was below the value at which the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 must be applied. As such, this procurement process is being managed by the Council in accordance with the requirements of its Contract Procedure Rules, as set out in its Constitution. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c39d6109-a086-409c-a4b8-03ab2a9790f9 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 11 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | 21 Aug 2022 - 21 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £336,600 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £336,600 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | CORBY | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN17 1QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Lloyds | | Westminster constituency | Corby and East Northamptonshire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | EASY AUTOCENTRES LTD, T/A HIQ TYRES & AUTOCARE; THE GARAGE OF CORBY; VEHICLE TESTING STATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
