## Summary

Leeds City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for "Market Sounding - Recovery of Vehicles," focusing on breakdown and recovery services for various types of vehicles, including cars, commercial vehicles, and buses. This initiative falls under the services category and is valued at £270,000 gross (£225,000 net). The primary location for service delivery is in Leeds, United Kingdom, under the region code UKE42. The council plans to begin the contract on 1st June 2026, concluding on 31st May 2030. Key milestone is the scheduled engagement due by 19th November 2025, which invites market input on the recovery and transportation of non-operational vehicles.

By engaging in this process, businesses can strengthen their portfolios and establish relationships with a sub-central government authority, thereby enhancing their growth potential within the public sector. The preliminary engagement phase allows businesses to influence the tender specifications and tailor their services to meet Leeds City Council's requirements effectively.
