## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) has concluded the procurement process for the supply and installation of Fleet Workshop Cabinets and Tools for Cheshire Constabulary's Vehicle Fleet Services (VFS). The procurement under the legal basis of directive 2014/24/EU (32014L0024) aimed to enhance quality standards, improve security, and minimise health and safety risks in the workshop. The project entails fitting new workstations with both fixed and mobile storage units, each equipped with a complete set of tools. The procurement process, conducted via an open procedure, awarded the contract to Craig Specialist Services Ltd T/A Truesteel. The contract was signed on 16 October 2024, with project completion slated by the end of 2024. Key site visit dates were on 15 and 29 July 2024, which required pre-booking.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for suppliers adept in providing high-quality workshop equipment and tools, particularly those experienced in outfitting large vehicle fleets. The project, by allowing incremental work as funding permits, presents ongoing contract opportunities, making it ideal for businesses looking to forge long-term relationships with public sector clients. Companies specialising in workshop fittings, cabinetry, tools, and electrical installation work are well-suited to compete in such procurement, given their ability to meet the stringent quality, security, and health and safety standards mandated by the PCC.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) is looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced single Lead Contractor for the Supply and Installation of Cheshire Constabulary (CC) Vehicle Fleet Services (VFS) Workshop Cabinets and Tools. CC VFS are responsible for over 750 cars across the Force, servicing and repairing over 20 cars a day. The CC Fleet includes a wide range of vehicles such as boats, riot vans, speed camera vans and motor bikes. To increase and maintain Quality Standards, improve Security, and minimise Health and Safety risks, the PCC would like to install new workstations throughout the workshop. The workstations will have both fitted and mobile storage units and provide a complete set of tools for each workstation. There is a finite budget for this programme of work, which may not initially cover the full requirement. The tender opportunity has been constructed to facilitate discreet blocks of work as funding allows. The intention is to award the full programme of work to one successful bidder. The PCC would expect bids to be significantly below the estimated value included the advert. It is anticipated that the project will commence at the point of Contract Award and will be completed before the end of 2024. There will be a site visit opportunity on Monday 15th July 2024. Details of the booking arrangements will be added to the ITT on a broadcast basis and MUST be prebooked. Full details can be found within the Online ITT - which is constructed as an online questionnaire with Supporting files in the document folder. The Contract value range shown relates to the bids evaluated. On award, the design was refined using the unit costs provided in the tender, so the value awarded is PS209,581.50. To allow for future further refinement and ancillary products this value may increase up to a maximum value of PS230,000. The contract end date shown is the estimated end of the installation project. There is provision in the contract to extend beyond this date if necessary to cover ancillary work and warranties. Additional information: The estimated Award Value shown in the advert far surpasses the expected value of the project, and has been inflated to allow for future expansion.

Renewal: There will be the option to extend the contract in increments of 6 months up to December 2026, to allow for a phased approach to the project.
