Description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), is seeking to establish a pan government Framework Agreement for the provision of Vehicle Telematics Goods and Services to vehicles which are based and/or travelling throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and into Europe.

The Vehicle Telematics Goods and Services will be for use by UK public sector authorities identified at VI.3 {of the OJEU Contract Notice} (and any future successors to these organisations), which include Central Government Departments and their Arm's Length Bodies and Agencies, Non Departmental Public Bodies and Local Authorities.

The above Public Sector Bodies have a need for Vehicle Telematics Goods and Services.

The vast majority of vehicles to be utilised under this Framework Agreement will be Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles, however there will be a requirement for the Supplier to provide data recording devices and associated equipment which are suitable for fitting into other Contracting Authority assets such as: agricultural vehicles; construction equipment; plant and boats.

The Authority expressly reserves the right (i) not to award any contract as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of this notice; and (ii) to make whatever changes it may see fit to the content and structure of the tendering competition; and in no circumstances will the Authority be liable for any costs incurred by the Potential Providers. If the Authority decides to enter into a Framework Agreement with the Potential Providers, this does not mean that there is any guarantee of subsequent contracts being awarded.

Any expenditure, work or effort undertaken prior to contract award is accordingly a matter solely for the commercial judgement of Potential Providers. Any orders placed under this Framework Agreement will form a separate contract under the scope of this Framework between the Potential Provider and the specific requesting other Contracting Authority(s). The Authority and other Contracting Authority(s) utilising the Framework reserve the right to use any electronic portal during the life of the agreement.

A detailed description of the Services that the Supplier will be required to practice under this Framework Agreement are set out in Attachment 4b Framework Agreement Schedule 2 Part A (Goods and Services)
