This contract is classified under the goods category, specifically related to office and computing machinery, and falls within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 1st May 2018 and extending for three years, potentially renewable for up to an additional two years. Key dates include the tender period which ended on 16th February 2018, and the award date on 23rd April 2018, with a total contract value of £700,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those that specialise in manufacturing or supplying vehicle identification equipment, signage, or related goods. Companies focused on providing cost-effective and scalable solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process, especially given the increased demand stemming from the Council's notable growth in vehicle licensing, which has seen a 300% rise since 2015. By participating in this contract, businesses can enhance their market presence and contribute to meeting the demands of an expanding fleet in Wolverhampton. ## Notice City of Wolverhampton Council (the Authority) wishes to appoint a Provider for provision of the vehicle identification plates and ancillary equipment for private hire and hackney carriage vehicles licenced by the Authority. The Deregulation Act 2015 has helped to facilitate a significant increase in the number of private hire vehicles being licenced by the Authority and the subsequent requirement for much greater volumes of plates and badges. The Authority has increased its vehicle fleet by over 300% since 2015 therefore it is reasonable to estimate that the Authority shall plate over 7000 vehicles per year throughout the duration of this contract, however volumes are not guaranteed and volumes could go up or down. Naturally the Authority wish to look to reduce livery costs based on economies of scale. The proposed contract is for the period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further period of 2 x 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e14af4a-9a15-49a0-bc6b-05d9a71c3cb9 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Apr 2018 | | Submission deadline | 16 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Apr 2018 | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2018 - 30 Apr 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £701,080 | | 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 | WOLVERHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | WOLVERHAMPTON | | Post town | Wolverhampton | | Postcode | WV1 1RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG39 Wolverhampton | | Local authority | Wolverhampton | | Electoral ward | St Peters | | Westminster constituency | Wolverhampton West | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NEW AUTO LTD T/A MOGO | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ### Codes - 30000000 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ## Release History - 23 Apr 2018 at 09:04 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e14af4a-9a15-49a0-bc6b-05d9a71c3cb9 - 23 Apr 2018 at 08:59 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e14af4a-9a15-49a0-bc6b-05d9a71c3cb9 - 16 Jan 2018 at 16:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e14af4a-9a15-49a0-bc6b-05d9a71c3cb9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e14af4a-9a15-49a0-bc6b-05d9a71c3cb9 16th January 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d736f61c-cffa-e711-80ea-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
