## Summary

Glasgow City Council is procuring vehicle and plant recovery and relocation services. The requirement covers recovery of the council family’s vehicles and plant equipment, including vehicles weighing up to 44 tonnes, together with relocation of privately owned vehicles for council works, events and illegally parked vehicles. Movements may be between streets, council premises, depots, multi-storey car parks, service-provider premises and other specified locations. The service is required 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for activity in Glasgow. This is a service contract for commercial vehicle breakdown and recovery, also covering cars, buses, motorcycles, other motor vehicles and recovery vehicles. The requirement is arranged as one lot and includes community benefit obligations linked to the framework’s spend.

The procurement has reached tender: Glasgow City Council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a framework agreement with up to five participants and one lot. The estimated total value is £3,666,000. The framework period is 1,440 days, with the council able to consider a new tender process 12 months before expiry in response to future demand.

Submissions are electronic, must be in English, and an electronic catalogue is required; variants are not allowed. Evaluation is based on price 45%, service delivery 30%, and Fair Work First, fleet, electric vehicles, training and sustainability at 5% each.

This opportunity suits established vehicle recovery and transport operators able to provide round-the-clock coverage, recover and relocate vehicles and plant up to 44 tonnes, and manage movements between streets, depots, premises and storage locations. Bidders must hold Institute of Vehicle Recovery accreditation, or an equivalent, and PAS 43 safe-working certification, or an equivalent. The required operating model must be supported by suitable motor, motor-trade road-risk and vehicle or plant custody insurance, alongside at least £10 million employers’ liability and £5 million public liability cover. Suppliers need positive pre-tax profit over three years, positive net worth and sound statutory filing status, with a parent guarantee possible for qualifying group companies.
