## Summary

Derby City Council commissioned a comprehensive emergency vehicle recovery service for its operational fleet. The service must be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the year. This is fleet recovery work for a local authority, rather than general vehicle repair or maintenance. The contracted activity is associated with repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific service location is identified in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Derby City Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. BURROWS RECOVERY LIMITED was selected and signed the contract on 30 September 2026; the award date is not stated. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2029, with two 12-month renewal options and a maximum possible period ending 1 October 2031. The contract value is £95,000 excluding VAT (£114,000 including VAT). No evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described.

For future requirements from Derby City Council, a credible supplier would need to provide dependable emergency recovery for the council’s operational fleet at all times of day and throughout the year. This is a continuous, round-the-clock service obligation, so suppliers need the operational capacity to respond outside standard working hours as well as during them. The award to a Derby-based small business shows that a smaller local supplier was selected for this requirement. Vehicle recovery capability and the ability to sustain uninterrupted cover are central to competing; the procurement does not identify particular accreditations, fleet size, response times or technical standards.
