Description
Watford Community Housing ("WCH") is seeking Tenders from suitably skilled and
experienced suppliers for the provision of vehicles and associated flexible fleet services
under this four-year, multi supplier framework.
This framework seeks to offer the benefits of a flexible vehicle hire solution that can react to
legislative and other operating context changes, incorporating the flexibility of a rental
model whilst competing with the total cost of ownership of a fixed-term contract hire/lease
arrangement. The framework will provide additional services to support the fleet operation
including but not limited to maintenance, fleet management services and additional fleet related services as set out in the specification. Full details are available in the procurement documents.
The framework is to operate across the UK and will be open to:
• any entity within the same group of companies as WCH from time to time
• any entity or joint venture company that WCH holds an
interest in from time to time
• any Social Housing Provider in the United Kingdom
• any supply chain member of any Social Housing Provider in the United Kingdom, including direct labour organisations and suppliers
• any national, regional or local health authority in the United Kingdom including, without
limitation, any NHS Trust, and any organisation providing a service to these bodies;
• any local or regional authority in the United Kingdom (including any arms length
organisation or service provider working on their behalf) delivering any public or private
sector construction related projects including, without limitation, housing, education,
highways and infrastructure work; and
• any service provider delivering services to any other Government Agency in the United
Kingdom including, without limitation, the Ministry of Defence and the Highways Agency
• and, in the case of the organisations listed in bullet points (iii) to (vii) above, who has
entered into an Access Agreement with WCH and whose identity has been notified in
writing by Pretium to the Supplier.
• any other organisation in public or private ownership who wishes to use the framework
Access to public sector bodies other than the Contract Authority will be an Access
Agreement between WCH, the Framework Suppliers and Pretium Frameworks Ltd, who WCH has appointed to administer the framework on its behalf.
Full details of the scope and requirements of the Framework and the procurement process,
including how to Tender are included within the procurement and Tender documents.
