Description

Croydon Council wishes to award a contract to a supplier to deliver Vehicle Body Repairs for a maximum term of 3 years plus an extension of 2 years. Croydon Council operates a fleet of 282 vehicles many of which are utilised seven days per week. In the financial year 19/20 there were 111 incidents that required vehicle body work repair, these incidents included Own Drivers, Third Party Damage and Property Damage. If any fleet vehicle is damaged repairs need to be arranged quickly to avoid depreciation of the asset and to maintain a good reputational image (as many of the vehicles are used for public transport). Also where negligence of a Council Driver has occurred and a Third Parties Vehicle is damaged an offer for the Council to arrange repairs is made, this benefits the Third Party as they do not need to incur any excess payments to their vehicle insurer (which often leads to a premium increase), and Council also benefits from this service in both its reputation and financially. This tender process is being carried out in accordance with the Open Procedure as set out in the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015.
