## Summary

Bristol City Council is procuring an accident repair and associated vehicle maintenance service for its Fleet Services Team. The requirement covers the council’s fleet vehicles, hired vehicles and plant, including horticultural equipment, for vehicles and plant up to 10 tonnes. The work is expected to support vehicles and equipment operating across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a vehicle and equipment repair and maintenance services opportunity, suited to businesses able to handle a varied public-sector fleet rather than only a single vehicle type. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Bristol.

The procurement reached tender: Bristol City Council invited offers through an open procedure. Electronic submission is allowed, in English. Enquiries had to be submitted by 20 October 2026 at 12:00 midnight British Summer Time, and tenders were due by 26 October 2026 at 12:00 noon UTC. The evaluation decision was scheduled for 9 November 2026. The contract is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. Its estimated value is £375,000 excluding VAT, or £450,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers are assessed on price at 40%, quality at 46% and social value at 14%. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits vehicle repair and maintenance businesses with the facilities, equipment and trained staff to diagnose and repair council fleet vehicles, hired vehicles and plant up to 10 tonnes. Relevant capability includes accident damage repair, general vehicle repair and maintenance, and work on horticultural equipment and other plant. Suppliers should be able to support a geographically broad service covering operating requirements across England, rather than serving only a single local depot. The scope is suitable for established repair networks, multi-site operators and smaller specialist firms with sufficient capacity to manage varied fleet and plant requirements. Quality and social value together account for 60% of the evaluation, so bidders need to demonstrate service quality and meaningful wider community benefits alongside competitive pricing.
