Description

Knowsley Housing Trust (KHT) is seeking bids from appropriate organisations to establish a framework of suppliers to provide the supply of commercial vehicles to replace the vehicles currently used by the in-house maintenance team.

The tender and subsequent framework consists of two lots:

Lot 1: Contract hire
Lot 2: Flexible rental

The outcome of the tender process will be a 4 year framework agreement expected to commence September 2018.

This procurement exercise is being led by KHT for itself and on behalf of the other members of the First Ark Group and references in this document to KHT/First Ark/the Group should be construed accordingly. Please see the tender documents for further information on the required services.

The framework will be available to the following, such that each of the following will be entitled to purchase goods/services from the successful service providers at the discretion of First Ark Group:

- First Ark Group and all subsidiary undertakings of First Ark both current and future

- All parts of any current or future group structure of which First Ark is, or may become, a part

- Any joint venture entities (whether companies, limited liability partnerships or otherwise) in which any member of the First Ark participates from time to time (whether as a shareholder, member or otherwise), and are permitted by First Ark to make particular purchases from the service provider from time to time

For ease of reference, the term "client" is used in a number of places in the tender documents to refer to KHT, Vivark and the other members of the First Ark Group.
