Description
There is a monthly requirement for used vehicles, in the majority cars - with the small requirement for vans over a year - to be delivered to either Bicester or Kineton.
NB
Cars must be cars, vans must be vans, car/van preference is cars but either will suffice. No preference on size or model.
The requirement is for the supply, delivery and subsequent removal of used cars for training purposes.
Vehicles will be requested by telephone with a minimum 48 hours' notice
Vehicles are to be provided in a visually serviceable condition:
1. Must include all doors, boot, bonnet, windows and internal fittings.
2. Must be capable of moving on own wheels and include ignition key.
3. Must have no major mechanical or electrical components missing (i.e. engine, ignition, gearbox)
4. Batteries are to be in position as they form an important aspect of training.
5. Vehicles are to be environmentally cleaned free from fuel, coolant, brake, steering and hydraulic fluids and oils.
Once the vehicles have no further use for training the contractor is to remove from site within 7 days of being notified. It should be noted that due to the nature of the training, these vehicles will likely have panels and windows smashed with severe interior damage. Some will be returned with roof or other parts removed from the main structure. All separated components will be returned with the vehicle.
The contract length is anticipated to be 5 years.
