## Summary

Cheshire East Borough Council is procuring repair and maintenance services to refurbish its RCVs, either partly or fully depending on the requirements of individual vehicles. The work includes repairs and replacement of parts where required, with the detailed specification set out in the tender documents. The procurement is for Cheshire East Council and delivery is associated with the Cheshire East area. It is a services requirement, with an additional focus on metal-related work. Suppliers should therefore be able to assess vehicle condition, carry out appropriate refurbishment, complete repairs, replace components and return vehicles in accordance with the required specification. The requirement covers individual vehicle needs rather than a single standard repair package, so contractors should be able to respond to varying scopes of work.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission via the specified procurement portal. Bids were required by 20 August 2026 at 12:00 noon, and submissions had to be in English. The procurement has one lot covering the full requirement. Evaluation is based on a quotation for a full vehicle repair against the specification in the tender documents; variants are not permitted. The estimated value is £1,100,000 in total. The contract period is 1,080 days, described as 36 months, with an option to extend for a further 24 months. The award period and bid opening were scheduled for 18 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The requirement is recurrent.

This opportunity suits vehicle repair, maintenance and refurbishment specialists able to work on RCVs and provide both partial and full refurbishment. Relevant suppliers will need practical capability in diagnosing individual vehicle requirements, repairing vehicles, replacing parts and completing metal-related repair work where required. The work is suitable for businesses that can price a complete vehicle repair against a prescribed technical specification while adapting the extent of work to each vehicle. Contractors should have the workshop, technical and operational capability to manage a council fleet requirement over a multi-year period, including additional work if the extension option is used. Businesses with experience delivering structured repair services for public-sector or commercial vehicle fleets may be well placed to compete.
