Description

The Council wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of MOT services for Private Hire and Hackney Carriages. The Council requires Vehicle Testing Stations (VTS) local to and within the Birmingham boundaries to undertake MOT testing and re-tests as specified by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and appropriate legislation. In addition, the Vehicle Testing Stations are required to undertake a supplementary Council specific test which ensures licensed vehicles meet the Council's standards. Birmingham has approximately 5,250 annual MOT tests which includes MOT test and supplementary tests. A proportion of these may be subject to a MOT re-test. In addition, Vehicle Testing Stations (VTS) are asked to provide accident inspections - this may be as many as 500 annually. This requirement covers the following vehicles:

o Hackney Carriages
o Private Hire Vehicles
o Limousines
o Adapted Vehicles

The Framework Agreement will last for four (4) years, with a break clause at the end of the 2nd and 3rd year

The Framework Agreement will be awarded to the five (5) highest scoring tenderers.
