This planned tender is currently at the purchasing stage and is valued at £50,000,000. The contract will commence on 1st April 2020 and run until 1st April 2027, covering various regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London. Interested applicants should ensure to register their interest by 13th September 2019 to remain eligible for this opportunity. This contract presents a robust growth potential for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those focused on vehicle recovery, logistics, and roadside assistance. Companies equipped with operational capacity to handle significant volumes—anticipating 14,000 to 16,000 vehicles annually—and capable of providing 24/7 service would find this tender particularly suitable. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as this contract has been marked as inclusive for such businesses, allowing them to expand their services within the public sector. ## Notice This seven-year contract opportunity is for a sole supplier to contract with Highways England to manage the safe removal of accident damaged, broken down and abandoned vehicles from England's motorways and all-purpose-trunk-roads, 24/7/365. The associated activities will include the storage and disposal of such vehicles alongside the collection of the statutory fees that relate. The contract will cover both responsive statutory vehicle removal and the pro-active, ad hoc, 'pre-positioning / standby' of vehicle recovery resource, as well as offering the potential for providing vehicle recovery services during scheme road works. Statutory removals are focussed on those parts of the national Strategic Road Network in England patrolled by Traffic Officers, who have the powers sanctioned within the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles (Traffic Officers) England) Regulations 2008 to effect statutory removals. The appointed contractor will be responsible for (but not liable for) the recovery of statutory charges from those vehicles statutorily removed in accordance with the Removal, Storage and Disposal of Vehicles (Prescribed Sums and Charges) Regulations 2008. It is expected that this service will be funded almost entirely by income received from removals, storage and disposal. Anticipated volumes of statutory removals would be between 14,000 - 16,000 vehicles per annum. Highways England will also require the services of the supplier to pre-position recovery vehicles for operational purposes to enhance the carriageway clearance abilities of the Traffic Officers. Highways England will fund such pre-positioning and clearance services on an 'as required' basis. Highways England also requires that their main works contractors approach the appointed vehicle recovery contractor to quote to undertake scheme recovery (to be funded directly by the main works contractor) To register your interest, please register at: https://highways.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03950a65-734f-493e-89f0-b0b924934cb2 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Sep 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 1 Apr 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HIGHWAYS ENGLAND | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 1RN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
